There's a veterans population of 549. They're only able to afford one part time veteran service officer because they get $550 from the state of Wisconsin. Okay, that's unacceptable. We take half your budget. There's nine full time GS12s working in Pippin county and to me that is a judicious expenditure of taxpayers dollars. Your department is not. So I'm going to ask you again. Would you support funding these CVSOs with federal money? I'd be happy to talk to you about working. (03:30–03:40)
