Recent Examples on the Web The $5 million represents the single-largest appropriation by the city for a project within city limits since Mobile County Commissioner Connie Hudson first pitched the project in 2012. 
al, 6 Sep. 2022 Members of the city’s legislative delegation attempted last year to get the city an additional $42 million from the state, but failed; the bill containing the appropriation died in committee. Daniella Silva, NBC News, 2 Sep. 2022 The Legislative Council voted to rescind the appropriation for the federal funds, and recommended schools use the money for bonuses. From Usa Today Network And Wire Reports, USA TODAY, 25 July 2022 But the appropriation omits on the list of recipients any mention of VMI’s expansion of its chief diversity office. Ian Shapira, Washington Post, 2 July 2022 In fact, Congress beefed up the appropriation by more than $7 billion over the Biden administration's original request. Samuel Goldman, The Week, 11 May 2022 The $50 million appropriation for tactically responsive launch will fund a demonstration not just of launch vehicles but also of capabilities to integrate payloads quickly. Eric Berger, Ars Technica, 22 Apr. 2022 But often, this aspect of his life remains unexplored, white-washing his past or side-stepping thornier issues of appropriation. Maureen Lee Lenker, EW.com, 26 June 2022 At this point, the only funding allocated to the project is a $8.5 million legislative appropriation for the permitting phase.
