I helped to pass a bill to provide overtime pay for our farm workers. And the things that I kept hearing from growers across the state was that We don't have enough labor. And that is, you know, it's, it's a hardship. It's a hardship not just, you know, in our farms and agriculture, but in our, you know, restaurants, a lot of public or a lot of service sector economy, certainly construction work. So what I would say is I would like to see again, it's all about balance. (46:44–46:59)
