You know, that was something that had really kind of gotten on the skids when I became governor. You saw major problems in 2016 on the east coast, 2018 on the west coast of Florida. We pledged two and a half billion my first year. First four years, three and a half billion, the next four. We far exceeded that. We now have reservoirs East Lake. We've done our part in the south of the lake. You have water flowing now to Florida Bay. (13:03–13:12)
