People got to know me pretty well, you know, on the fiscal front, I don't spend money I don't have, and I don't want to put this state in the hole the way it happened previously. And we paid down our debt, pension debt. We've gone from 35% funded in our pensions to 70% funded. You know, that takes a little navigation. There are a lot of folks, one of whom was just on saying, spend more. We'll figure out how to pay for it later. (06:06–06:11)
