From the transcript
Again, part of that has to do with the fact that the overtime amounts have not been adjusted within the last few years to accommodate increased salaries. But overall their year-over-year spend is better than it was the prior year. So they're controlling more. And I think with additional seats being filled, they are able to cut some of the overtime a little bit. So again, I think we're going to deal with some of those overtime adjustments in the budget process.
