The governor wasn't going to treat the timeline any differently. So don't blame them is my point. Blame the governor. Blame the governor. He's the person who has perpetuated this.

They are not culprits in this unfortunate circumstance that we all have to deal with currently. Any other questions? Well, thank you all for being here. (24:18–24:30)
