We put a letter in with our budget that said if there was additional money, we recommend that it go to primary care and education. And we also said to make sure that RIPTA received somewhere between 10 and 15 million. My position is the $67 million more, Gene, that they had to work with, that they could have done all that without increase in the gas tax, without increasing conveyance fees, without increasing health insurance by as much as $200 for a. Family of four premiums. In other words, the money's coming from somewhere else. You made that clear. All right, I just want to talk about the bridge quickly. (05:35–05:51)
