“it seemed like, uh, ADA thought that the comment periods were something that they could take into consideration, but no matter how bad they were, how good they were, it would not change their opinion, uh, if they wanted to still go on with the transfer of the land.

Now, I did ask a question about the data center, uh, and I basically asked if they were going to actually think about removing it because we had heard that they would take that out of the mix.”

And what they discussed was there were a lot of questions, there was a lot of concern about where Ada was and whether they were going to go through with the actual transfer of the land. And my—. There was never really that, that actually came out, but There was some things that were kind of weird to me, and one of them was that it seemed like, uh, ADA thought that the comment periods were something that they could take into consideration, but no matter how bad they were, how good they were, it would not change their opinion, uh, if they wanted to still go on with the transfer of the land. That was what I was getting at. Now, I did ask a question about the data center, uh, and I basically asked if they were going to actually think about removing it because we had heard that they would take that out of the mix.
