Since it doesn't significantly impact the spirit of the bill, just the
language, I'm okay with this being amended before the Senate meeting.
However, I'd prefer if you leave a copy of the original somewhere accessibl=
e
(and clearly marked as such) for reference.

Just a quick question:<br>
<br>
Could the name perhaps be changed to "Bill to Authorize the Treasurer =

I do not think that the current title really captures the intent of the bil=

The bill authorizes the treasurer to:<br>

Finance Board helps allocate to student groups for the next funding<br>
period; and<br>

I'm happy to answer any questions that you have. It would be awesome if=

we can get most questions out *before* Senate, so that Senate can be<br>
