If it could be accomplished with the gas tax, I think that's an equitable manner of doing it. I think it's just in recognition that, particularly in a time of inflation, the program was very well received. At the end of the line, in my mind, there's one tax dollar. So I think the gas tax is one way of doing it. I'd defer to your judgment. There's some politics involved there in how you get that amount.
