Already heard from mayors and county commissioners and governors and state legislators so you had an idea. It adds up to about 125 million. The state was ready to go for it. Well, your not going to get that. That is that. That is where i think a lot of the leadership came from because suddenly that county commissioner, the city council everyone had by an.

We brought four scholars together, some of them coming through sleet and snow last night, delayed at airports, but theyre all here and we are meeting almost exactly at the time, 15 years ago that the union troops were crossing the river and coming in towards the city, toward that moment at 10 00 oclock a.
