RD: I know when press club was – when we were lobbying with Senator Lorraine Inouye on <br />an \[unclear\] you know, we took a couple, she would call sometimes on a Sunday, hey, <br />listen, somebody needs to be here tomorrow. And so, that was at least a couple of <br />times. Depends on how mission critical it is. If we try to get pro-active and like what, <br />what our last representative told us which was – the Farm Bill \[unclear\] a pilot program <br />– it’s doing that – that is likely going to be in the Farm Bill – it crosses both the – and <br />there’s a lot of money there and so one of our key advocates – one allies is gonna be US <br />Department – USDA Wildlife Services, so, if we’re putting together a team of that, that <br />may need people coming over or maybe it’s someone – we fly somebody over, you <br />know, um, so there’s, there’s, there’s options there. If we’re looking at like, um, a day – <br />what’s a day gonna cost? So, a round trip is – let’s call… <br /> <br />LT: One-twenty… <br /> <br />RD: Let’s call it – let’s call it $150.00 – so there’s $300.0 then, then uber in/uber out is… <br /> <br />LT: Is $60.00… <br /> <br />RD: Forty-bucks. Twenty in and twenty out. So, forty… <br /> <br />LT: And maybe about $30.00 for lunch… <br /> <br />RD: So it’s like $200.00 so, you’ve, you’ve brought the $225.00, maybe $250.00 so, you <br />know, we’re looking at max, we’re looking at like in the ballpark of $500.00 for two guys <br />to go over for one day, you know, which seems to be reasonable. And then if we do <br />omiyage or makana, it’s reasonable to, but we’d have to go how many legislators are <br />there? There’s 26 senators and how many legislators are, are there 48 or but, anyway… <br />LT: Yeah, \[unclear\] right? <br /> <br />RD: Right. So that package may be a plan maybe a couple hundred bucks. Right? So we’re, <br />we’re, so what’s \[unclear\] a day could be what $500.00? <br /> <br />LT: Five to seven hundred, depending on our mission. It’s first day – first day versus last – <br />last day will be the cheapest, right, cause… <br /> <br />RD: Yeah, the last – what happens at the end of the session is a lot of times – that’s when <br />the bills are really at like a point of, doing conference, are they going to make it or not, <br />so like if you want kill a bill or you want to push a bill – that last \[unclear\] April, the last – <br />that last month is critical. <br /> <br />LT: Should we plan for – have three trips booked and then plus one emergency – <br />emergency meaning taking a vote tomorrow – we can send one or two – it doesn’t need <br />to be a team, I can head up, eh, you gotta go – can you go by yourself – can you fly out <br />tomorrow? <br />32 <br /> <br />
