And last year, I had a budget hole that we had to climb out of about $100 million to balance the budget. And we did it now because we made some difficult decisions last year. The budget gap is not as big, but it is similar in size. It is still pretty big. It's about 96, $97 million that we've got to climb out of. Meanwhile, as the slide shows, if state revenue had. If shared revenue from the state had simply kept pace with inflation, we'd have $250 million more than what we do. (20:04–20:15)
