So I guess I want to kind of highlight this tension of, as my fellow board member just said, moving at light speed to advance an agenda that we believe is good for our state and for this region, and yet to take the time that's needed to build consensus. And so how do you bridge that gap? It's trust and respect, Mr. Chairman. I think that is the bedrock principle, and I felt like this meeting was an advancement for at least me, but I definitely think for this board too, to move forward with mutual trust and respect, to talk about coming up here at future meetings to share information with them, to be able to email in between, a host of things. Bottom line is, if we need to move faster, we've got to bring them with us so that we can make it a success for everybody.
