ADA doesn't know what business they're thinking about putting up there. Um, so there will be much public comment, there will be much public process involved if it if in fact it does happen, and I'm not convinced, like Senator Rauscher is, that it's going to happen. I think there's lots and lots of pressure on DNR. I did drive Zero Lake Road maybe 2 days before you all went out there and cleaned it up, and I appreciate you, um, you guys stepping up. It was not as huge a mess as I've seen it before, um, but the last time I was down there I think was 20-plus years ago.
