You cannot ignore the local government, the local representatives that represent their constituency. These decisions cannot be made at such a level where the local electeds read about it or hear about it over the news. So have they asked you, has anyone asked you, from the federal government, as they displace onto the federal park here and other places throughout your community, how they're going to supplement the tax base that has been. Further demands have been put on. Are they going to give you, as a city or state government, additional revenues to handle the public safety or the lack of tax base that's coming with these new demands? The gentleman Tom's expired. I'll give you. There has been no commitment for financial support. Well, thank you for coming here today. I yield back to the chairman. (05:27–05:51)
