Today I walked into the office excited and not knowing what assignment was going to come my way. When I got there, Samantha told me that my assignment would be to write a report regarding the Non-Recurring Funds that the state would not spend if a budget wasn’t passed this summer. Just for context, Non-Recurring funds in a budget are just one-time allocations for an annual budget. If a budget doesn’t pass one year, the state defaults to the budget we have now but without spending on any of the “non-recurring funds”. My job was to go through this giant book which had all the ways the government was allocating money and look for “NR” which meant Non-Recurring fund.
Here is my giant book
When I just about started, Andrew came over and we sat at a table outside of Representative Harris’s office. He suggested that I use excel to store all the data for Non- Recurring Funds. To further help me out, he offered to be my scribe as I looked for non-recurring funds in the budget.
Andrew being my scribe.
