There'd have to be a Republican governor and a Republican legislature and probably could change that law. But the good news is we have some really good people. I want to say that we worked real. I worked real hard. I looked at every line in a budget bill that big. We have people that actually, that is their job is to see where we can use our veto. And that's one of the things that they came up with, and it was a damn good one. (23:47–23:54)
