I think when we went to Sacramento the first time, we finished the meeting with Matt Cade, who was the Secretary of Prisons at the time. I think he was waiting for us to have our hand out. And my hand was this instead of this. And it made a big difference, right? So we can get a lot further by doing it outside of that. And we, and we really want to show that you can marry private and public effectively without taking public funds. So that's really been our strategy.
