Thank you for your work on trying to pass a state budget that gives appropriate funding to each of these key areas.

Of all ways to cut funding, life-saving scientific research should be near the bottom of the list.

Cuts to promising medical research should be a hard NO.

We are exposed to so many contaminants in our daily lives that RFK Jr.'s intense focus on the (scientifically-proven safe) measles vaccine defies logic. Science saves lives. It needs more funding, not less.
