Were being put at risk sealed the deal for me. Commissioner moore. This is not only heartwrenching but probably the most difficult thing we have ever did. Theres the human side, which all of us are 500 on target, but then theres the reality. And in addition to what commissioner richards eloquently summarized, theres the others.

Safer, more reliable and heck of a lot more fun. So, were very proud and we have more sales tax dollars in line for the next options to expand our fleet even further. I just want to say that we need this team to Stay Together because were looking forward to securing additional regional measures three. Thats senate bill 1 funds, cap and trade funds and local new revenue measures to expand the fleet and upgrade the facilities so we can keep these running perfectly through the end of their useful life. Thank you. [applause] thank you, pa maria for reminding us of the voters and their foresight and making the difficult decisions that we ask of them that will impact their pocketbooks and wallets.
