And if I can extend that a little bit longer, I'd like to do it, but I got to do that within a balanced budget. But not the diesel and not the over the road big truck tax? I don't think so. That tax on the big track, the trailer trucks, a lot of them are just coming through the state. That raises us say 80, $90 million. I think they should pay into this. A lot of them are from out of state. That allows me to have free bus service for all of our cities. (09:56–10:04)
