Statement on Office of Economic Revitalization Ceasing Operations

"I am concerned that OER announced that they will be ending operations on August 14th as they previously indicated that they had sufficient funding to operate through the end of September. I look forward to eventually reviewing the commission's alleged draft strategic plan, and working with the Administration on the best path forward when a new budget is presented to the Council in March 2027." - Budget Chair Val Aquino Okimoto
