So don't misunderstand me, but I think you would have had pockets of, of either municipalities or agencies that would have taken a different posture. There's no incentive to do that right now. And I know we had some examples like Orange county, they said they were going to do sanctuary policy. Attorney general wrote them a letter saying, you know, you ought to maybe consult the statutes in the state of Florida. And they didn't do the sanctuary policy. So I think that's probably the biggest reason why. Governor, are you coming closer to appointing lieutenant governor or cfo? Of course, every day that goes by, we're a little bit closer.
