So I want to ask you, you've obviously been on this committee for a few years now. How does this budget season compare to previous years? Well, you know, This budget season I thought was going to be a lot different because this time we had basically a $7 billion surplus. So in my opinion, this was an opportunity for us to do a lot more for the constituents of Wisconsin. It was an opportunity for us to make investments that we otherwise wouldn't have an opportunity to make. (01:26–01:37)
