There was a couple, I think one didn't, didn't care to be brief, but you never know to call the roll. But we were very optimistic. The team did well and the community. It became Houston's budget. We had over 30 letters from interest groups as diverse as Acres, Home Chamber, Commerce and the west side Business association, the Houston Partnership, the AFL cio. So, you know, it doesn't get much better representing Houston. And so we gave like 90 briefings across Houston. Can't think Stephen David enough. He took it upon himself to brief the different groups. (03:51–04:03)
