The reason we can't get on, get going on that is because of one member on the DNR board who was appointed by my predecessor and he won't leave and the Senate won't approve my well qualified candidate. That's crazy. You know It's going to take us another three years to set standards because one person has decided not to leave the DNR board. That's the dysfunction. Mr. Michaels. Yes, Amy, thank you. That's a great question. And I want to say that I am a business leader who understands this problem. (31:25–31:34)
