On Environment: $10M to partially restore cuts in land acquisition fund

We are proposing that $8 million of this year's surplus be added to the TIIPS fund for industrial infrastructure investment; that $11 million be allocated to job training, primarily for two specific industrial projects with Nissan and Toyota; and for $10 million to support the truly visionary biotech initiative in Memphis.

For me, one of last year's most personally painful cuts was in the land acquisition fund. While I was not able this year to fully restore these funds, I am proposing to allocate $10 million of this year's surplus as a one-time contribution to begin making that fund whole once again.
