President Knox White closed the public hearing. Board Member Zuppan expressed concern that the benefit of the program be clearly for and accessible to the public. She wants to remove the cap or index it to inflation. Board Member Henneberry agreed that we should index the cap and said that the maritime focus should retained. Board Member Burton agreed with raising the cap and indexing it to inflation. President Knox White expressed support for indexing the cap to CPI.
