I know, which is why if it's the beginning phases, having caution around it instead of just going all in is not. I'm arguing that that's a good thing to have caution. That I got triggered by this is because The Milwaukee Common Council didn't assume a pause position. They said no before we got to this point. And whatever reason, Chief Norman and the leadership said all right, we're not going to do it. For now. For now. Yeah. But the council's not exercising any indication that they want to maybe look at this. (1:21:22–1:21:32)
