Know, i have to say that i presumed that over time in these three years, we are going to stop transportation to private after School Programs. So, i need to see why we are not proposing to do that. And if it means that we are giving up any, you know, that we are trading that off, against busing to our own after School Programs or other, or maybe transportation to or from school to Home Transportation from some school, because of the capacity of the buses and the system.

Hefty but i didnt take it. Instead i took a job at a broadcast technician and thought that will give me a lot of future bonuses than any quick cash can give me, so as a 25 romero i thought i think my fathers prediction was right 20
