I wish we could have been having a different conversation and frankly been talking about a more responsible proposal to lower cost for working families, invest in our schools, you know, lower property taxes. But unfortunately that wasn't the discussion we were having yesterday. We were in conversations with the governor's office, but we just did not see eye to eye on responsible use of these dollars. And so it did all move pretty quickly at the end, I would say in the last couple of days. Not uncommon in the state legislature, but it just wasn't something that we could get on board with ultimately. (04:14–04:24)
