Hi Judy! Thanks for letting me know! The server we use to send our email newsletters is havingRead More some technical difficulties and the issue was not resolved as of earlier today. Our engineers are hard at work on this- and the last I heard, I believe it is resolved. I am so sorry about this filling up your inbox and at all the wrong times- The reminder on the budget hearing was posted on the site Tuesday and should have been sent out Wednesday morning, I apologize it did not. Please keep me posted if this continues! Best, Lauren
