If it's there. If we had a trifecta. These are huge, huge ifs. And we don't. And so it's important to look at the opportunities we have now. And Governor Evers did that work. He looked at it and he said, we have an opportunity to get desperately needed funds for special needs to our schools. And perhaps we should do that. But for me, leadership is about dealing with what you are, the cards you are dealt, not saying, oh, I hope, you know, in the future, if I get four aces, this is what I'm going to do. (10:43–10:52)
