Sorry, I just was going to say Casey, she also has an opioid ask in for a larger amount, so it might be more appropriate to fund them through there if you don't want to do this one. And then also, we'll talk about it when we get to contracts and packet review, but a large part of what we pay for animal control actually goes to the Humane Society, like to the tune of like almost $75,000. And so if we're looking for low-hanging fruit, giving them another 4 might be, you know, $79,000 instead of $75,000. That might be an easy one to take off the list as well. I do love them, and I feel bad saying that because my dogs are from there.
