You're on Your own. In Connecticut, we assured our residents we've got your back. And I want to thank the legislature for giving us the resources to protect the most vulnerable. We still have over $300 million to backfill any other unanticipated cuts coming from Washington. And I respectfully ask all of you to extend that fund through the end of the next fiscal year. Because you hope for the best, but you got to be prepared for the worst. (05:09–05:17)
