Each speaker was given a grand total of two minutes to make their pitch in support of their project which were far reaching from water treatment plants to Head Start facilities. There was no testimony on sections of the bill itself, just individual projects and there were a lot of that as you can tell by taking 1:00 to 4:30 and dividing by 2 minutes. By the end of the hearing, only two committee members remained, the chair and the vice chair to do the 2:00 timing.
