From the transcript
Any other discussion? Mr. Smiley. I think the more important issue here is the amount that we're directed towards MAPTR for next year. We really hamstring ourselves at $16.665, whereas at $17.290, we're doing a lot better for next year. We don't know how we're going to— whether we're going to have to spend it, but it's better to have it in the bank and be able to do it next year.
