I wish there were more deputies around. I don't want to speak for the clerk, but the clerk has also spoken on this matter. Ideally, we'd like to have the opportunity for deputies to stay in their positions longer. We're dealing with a demographic challenge that affects us all. We're trying to manage the team of deputies as best we can, given the circumstances and the needs of the day. I think we'd all agree that ideally we'd all like to be in our positions longer.
