your testimony is requested to:

Present a comprehensive report on all historical appropriations and current expenditures tied to the 
stadium project

Clarify any recent budget reallocations or shortfalls that may have affected project milestones 
• 
Explain oversight mechanisms in place to ensure fiscal accountability and spending efficiency 
Please submit your written testimony and any supplemental reports or schedules no later than Monday,
