From the transcript
Um, and I, I'm with, um, my colleagues on this. I, I feel like we went into this year saying, hey, um, let's get this program going, we're going to waive the these with the understanding that, you know, we're going to start collecting these fees next year. And I, you know, it's what we've been asked to do by a pretty good portion of our constituency. And I think, you know, I understand that there are some complications and some problems. So I think we should figure out, you know, what we can do, and maybe, maybe we do a partial rollout or something, but I I think I'm with them.
