the business assistance grant, for grants to legacy businesses, and rent stabilization grant, for lands that provide stabilization to tenants. the $400,000 would be needed to use for the legacy business grant because that is the only grant to the legacy businesses within the historic preservation fund, however, there are major problems with the business assistance fund. it pays grantees for full time equivalent employees, f.t.e.s, and would only pay about $75 per f.t.e., considering $400,000 divided by about 280 applicants. number two, the grant would be too small for microand small businesses, which often need the most assistance. businesses that struggled during the pandemic are struggling with f.t.e.s. the range of grants would too large, ranging from about $75 to about $7500. it's difficult for applicants to calculate their f.t.e.s, and many applicants calculated f.t.e.s inappropriately in the past. the solution is the development of a new grant we're calling a legacy business grant, featuring a new grant that has a simpler application and has an easier review process. under the new

these grants of £5,000 will be there for anyone. it doesn't matter what you have got as a heating system at the moment. it is to open up the market and for people who want to take the first steps towards being green in their homes. we are not aware of any currently limitations. would everybody get £5,000 if they are successful? yes, that is what it is currently saying, it is a fixed number of £5,000, which is more than the government had originally suggested in their consultation. it is currently unclear whether there will be a higher figure for ground source heat pumps. it had been previously suggested you might be able to get a bit more for a ground source heat pump but we are waiting on the detail on that. angela, question foryou. is the grantjust for gas boilers or does it cover solid fuel, wood pellet and oil? the grant is for heat pumps and replacing your gas. so if you have currently got renewables such as biomass or solar, then that isn't to replace those. but if you have got oil or gas boilers, they are fossil fuels and t

the justifications for granting the variants really don't support any of the five standards for granting a variance. there's weak showing of exceptional extraordinary circumstances. that's nonexistent. there's no real practicality and no substantial property right that would be impacted if the variances were denied. the justification for granting those variances relies instead on the design constraints related to the decision into the fire station and the design of the tower and the mix of uses that it would provide. this isn't sufficient especially when as the respondent in its briefing would be able to move or relocate or even potentially eliminate some of these facilities to make a code compliant building and not require these variants at all. looking specifically at the ceiling height, i have a few exhibits that will help illustrate that. >> director: we can pause the time. >> yeah. i'm trying to be efficient with this. this is a diagram that shows where the ground floor ceiling height exceptions are sought for i think this is the residential variant. there's also a similar diagram s

i think we appreciate that we already are focused in the form of our grants and continuing those grant opportunities, afge, safer, the other grants particularly funding and continuing to fund the use source system is very important to us because it's a frontline who is responding to these disasters at times. so to some extent i will say the continuation of the support and funding and an increase in those dollar amounts will go a long way. >> thank you chief butler. ranking member portland you are recognized for your questions. >> thank you mister chairman and thank youwitnesses for your testimony . more importantly for what you do every day. chief butler we just talked about search and rescue. back in 2016 you may recall we passed legislation that was worked on in this committee called the national urban search and rescue response systems act and it enhanced compensation and protectionsfor urban search and rescue teams and required payment of finance to replace equipment used by those teams . how does that work? can you give us a sense of whether the legislation was helpful or not and

well, i can't imagine amnesty will be granted. i think a more it, they still are, you're hearing your commission or they've been pushing for it since around reagan was an office and i think that they will continue to push for it. but i don't believe that they'll get the 60 votes and in the united states senate to get it passed. but i do believe this will be the number one issue in the 2022 elections and the 2024 elections. this was the issue and 16 when trump lifted up the banner and said that he would, this would be as number one issue to closing the border and building a wall. the other 16 very good republican candidates would not pick up that issue. and trump came out of nowhere and swept the deck and, and won the nomination and then beat hillary clinton on this one issue. i believe what we're seeing this invasion on our southern border is going to be the catalyst issue in the 20222024 elections like it was in 2016. and yet, 10 in this last way that happened just a few weeks ago when we saw the thousands that were camped out un

think about that for a minute all you grant people. robert e. lee would send them all over the country. overgaard gets to hang out in louisiana with friends and family and everybody he knows. this has to be one of the most rest jobs any officer had an 18 50's. even then he has no room to complain. in the 18 50's you see a lot of blower guards strengths and weaknesses so let me gives him strength. this man is a superb engineer. he's highly intelligent one of the smartest generals north and south. he fluent in several different languages and also inventor. he is better versed in military history than most of his contemporaries. his own maxims based on the maxims of napoleon however he he's also showing some of his weaknesses. he's annoyed that he didn't get much credit for mexico but he deserved. he needs to be number one in a big part of that is because just because you are the smartest person doesn't make you the easiest person to work with. and i think beauregard never quite got over that so his opinion was like leave mcclellan hewitt say they

these were the vehicles for an act of mercy granted by god. enslavement is the price paid for salvation. for christianity when the poem is revisited in the 1980s we move finally from the opening, to the clothing one. christianity gives her the authority to challenge racism and claim equality. as an equal to those that she addresses and offers them a challenge and issuing an admonition. however in order to be granted a hearing, she must accept the terms presented to her. african is pagan, slavery as an act of mercy. this seems to me a major dilemma of the artist and intellectual in the west. in order to be heard by those that address you, you must first accept the false premise that justifies the impression. instead of the masters think they are acting mercifully and they do not believe themselves to be acting unjustly. they are in the position to grant mercy when in fact i have always been struck and haunted by the word in wheatley's poem. over 200 years after wheatley encountered the concept, i heard it in that other colonial era city, philad

goats sell your ideas to them instead of taking their votes for granted. i heard some political analysts quietly say, if it is true that latinos are increasingly like swing voters , ultimately that's probably a good thing. it will allow or force political parties to recruit latino voters instead taken for granted. the latinos will win if both parties are truly fighting for the vote. they said that quietly the other thing they understand is the other thing they are afraid of is, if it seems like latinos are swing voters if it is true latinos don't care if it's not an issue they prioritize why are we going to spend so much time and effort passing immigration overhaul? so democratic political analyst are really worried that if it seems like latinos are fractured and swing voters, they have long believed there is power in numbers. the way to get things done in washington on behalf of latinos is say if you pay attention to this growing voting block with enormous political power, you are going to be in trouble for it. but if it turns out the case that latinos do
