QUOTE
I feel the caps being considered are arbitrary in nature,a knee jerk reaction to a very large grant submitted under Law Enforcement on the last cycle, and around $20 Million being submitted under NON CESA the previous cycle. Both these conditions no longer exist under the new laws due to the passage of SB742 last year, NON CESA was an unrestricted category that no longer exist, and Law Enforcement is now an entirely different process all together. This limitation also is unfair to areas where one Agency managed the bulk of there opportunity, such as Imperial County which used more fuel than any other County in the State, and only has one real applicant EL Centro BLM.
Any past history being used is now null and void, and in this case violates the simple US Constitutional need for basic representation for taxation, the people that pay the most are in-titled to their Fair share. New data is needed before considering any caps in any category.
