This is an hour and 25 minutes. This morning we are here to discuss the president s fiscal year 2025 budget request. I thank chief randy moore and the budget director mark licken stein for being with us this morning. Thank you both. I look forward to hearing about the justification for the 6. 5 increase requested over fiscal year 2024 enacted appropriations.

I know my colleagues from western states are on pins and needles watching the next ignition that could devastate their communities. Our committee has cons
2023, when 60 yearold David Schneider was senselessly shot while trimming trees in his front yard, neighbors came to his aid while he was dying and gathered security footage for investigators in what Oakland Police originally thought might have been an attempted robbery.
