I think I would take that a bit personally, that we're irresponsible and that we can't make decisions about how to spend money. I think we're pretty efficient, and we're right next door to the people, so as far as how we spend our money, I think we do it very well and very efficiently, number one.
Number two, any kind of long-term projects create a lot of jobs. As an example, the other day we were talking about transit, and I hope this is a correct statistic. I was told for every million dollars spent in transit, you create twenty-seven and a half jobs, and on the same thing for the oil industry it's a lot less. So investments in transit and in communities create a substantial number of jobs, and long-term jobs, which is important. But as far as spending money, I really think we're responsible. As these large cities are responsible orders of government, we have good leadership and good management. The process just needs to flow where we can deal with the money. We'll be glad to give you an accounting for it, although we're taking it out somewhere else, and then we can move forward. We need long-term sustainable funding.
