The ‘it’ i am referring to is the horse.

Which means I’m probably missing some context and why I’m not fully getting the horse comment.

I’m newish to dealing with these issues, so I’m also not sure what you’re referencing when you say it would have seemed reasonable if writtena month ago. What’s the it?

If this was written a month ago, it would have seemed reasonable.

She doesn’t want to rock the boat until we’ve gone through a million committee meetings and worked out a compromise.

I’ve always heard a compromise between right and wrong is still going to be wrong. It’s better to get things done now. If we wait until later, we’ll be lucky to get HarperCollins to raise the checkout limit to 30.

The ALA Executive Board and Council approve the availability of these funds. So groups are applying for funding now so they can get things done in support of the current Strategic Plan. It’s not when the actual funding would be made available. I hope that helps!
