I don't know what the clerk can tell us about how problematic it would be for our schedule. As we discussed at our last meeting, we are elected representatives and we can't just go with a consultant's report on this issue. It's extremely important. I agree with David that we have to have a more in-depth hearing and that it's crucial to do it now. So if possible, we'd like to stay on the schedule.
