The $12 Million Trade — Pragmatism vs. Loyalty

PSSF grants are invoked as the specific spending line under discussion — the 80/70 framing is proposed as an anchor for negotiations over these grants. The object functions as the technical subject that grounds the room's bargaining and justifies the trade-off language Josh uses.

Before: Listed and active within the budget conversation as a candidate for negotiation and anchoring (discussed but not yet finalized).

After: Remains the focal spending category for negotiation; the broader submission framing (80/70) is set around it though micro-level earmarks have been shifted.
