It's coming directly out of our pockets, guys. There's hundreds of examples like that. The airport that you mentioned, they said that they would pay for that themselves. They said Justin Jones and tic and these people said that we're going to raise the money privately so taxpayers don't have to pay for it. But it turns out that they only raised half the amount that they needed. So we're going to pay $4 million out of pocket to change what should be the Las Vegas International Airport to the Harry Reid International Airport. (12:21–12:30)
