So they go to these city halls and lean on the mayors to pass kind of radical environmental, labor, anti business type of policies. And so what we have done is we've said, look, If the state regulates something, we're not going to let each of our municipalities shut up their own regulatory scheme and frameworks. We're having consistency across the state. And I think that that's really much in line with what the Texas constitution already is supposed to provide with home rule cities, but just really good policy, in my opinion. (02:46–02:53)
