And again, if you want to see these formulas work in action, please come see us. Um, that because that takes that out of there, we do not need property tax revenue to cover debt service, and that lowers the mill rate. And that's why we lower our mill rate from 891 to 859. That does not put money into R&R, but in order to do the projects that we have scheduled, we have enough money in that fund to cover that. So I think that it's important to keep continuing adding money to that to ensure that we have money for projects, but it's not doom and gloom, we can't do anything if we don't do that.
