All right, I'm struggling with this because, as Ms. Wall said in her beginning statement, that The city manager and the finance director did their job, and they cut over $4 million out of the budget. We gave ourselves the task of cutting $2 million out of the budget, plus finding revenue of $2 million. We did not cut $2 million out of our budget. We barely scraped by with $1 million, and then we added a bunch of other things. So I would guess the net result's probably about $200,000.
