<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am writing to you as the current President of the Florida Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries (FACRL). We heard about the Governor's veto of the Florida
Plus Program and would like to offer our assistance. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would like to send out a statement to the FACRL Membership that includes the link to the public news article on details of the budget cut, some of the implications and impact
on higher education across the state that this budget veto has, as well as some basic action items to take. We would like to increase awareness of this and ask FACRL members to reach out to the governor's office. <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Would this be helpful to you and FALSC at this juncture? Or should we hold off on this? We can also send a statement on behalf of the FACRL Board of Directors directly to the Governor's
Office if that would be helpful as well. <u></u><u></u></p>
