Representative Hansen,

First and foremost, thank you for your hard work this year amid a global pandemic. We all know
our state is in a truly trying time. As we move towards the conclusion of the 2020 session there
is one issue that I wanted to reach out to you and let you know our intent.

After much discussion amongst ourselves in the Senate we will not be pursuing a LCCMR
appropriations bill at this time. As stewards of the taxpayers it is financially prudent to allow that
money to fall to the bottom line and be used next year when our state will most likely be facing a
massive deficit. Furthermore, as there were no official recommendations this year there is less
agreement and therefore less desire to appropriate the dollars.

If you have any questions, please let me and my staff know. I look forward to a cordial end of
session. Stay safe.

Senator Bill lngebrigtsen

CC:
Senator Paul Gazelka, Senate Majority Leader
Senator David Tomassoni, Senate Minority Lead
Representative Dan Fabian, House Minority Lead
Becca Nash, Director of LCCMR
