Mayor Turner was very fortunate to get significant money from the federal government that was used for ongoing expenses. So we've had to absorb and deal with all those challenges, but we're doing it. We're very transparent. We've had over 80 public meetings and briefings and we've got over 30 letters of support from labor groups, city employees, chamber of Commerce, the partnership. So I'm very excited and people understand it if they'll just put the politics out in the hall and deal with the facts. And that's what we're doing. And I'm excited. (03:33–03:46)
