She said there is no limit on what an organization can request, but they <br /> 29 may not receive that amount. <br /> 30 Commissioner Dorosin asked if the funds allocated to Empowerment are different than <br /> 31 those previously decided upon. <br /> 32 Audrey Spencer-Horsely she believed the allocations are based on the Committee's <br /> 33 recommendations.
