Comments
I think the indemnification fund is to be used for failed or failing systems and that betterment loans should be clearly defined as to who the recipient may be. Is this income dependent? Should that income level be static across the state? Making 50k per year in Fairfax county is borderline poverty vs Frederick County VA.
