Two years ago, you know, he proposed a budget that contained a lot of things that obviously we didn't adopt. And we see the same thing in the budget that he presented to us. His [the governor's] budget was 1815 pages long. And the budget that we approved two years ago was about 400 pages long. So I suspect we're going to see probably a similar process and hopefully a similar outcome and a good budget for the state of Wisconsin. (01:10–01:15)
