What we said is not an additional dime for them until they act like every other police department and have common sense reforms. But we were willing to say those negotiations will be ongoing as DHS reopens. That has been rejected by the Republicans. And using these workers as political pawns, something's got to give. Hopefully it gives soon. Thank you for coming and I appreciate your time. Thanks Kate. (08:07–08:10)
