I have no doubt that that happened during the time from a year ago beginning last May to now. I think the real crime has been the hesitancy to provide leadership on the issue. Because of that, it led to a situation that could have cost the State maybe $2 billion to one that has cost the State of California $50 billion and has eaten up about a $12 billion surplus that we had last year. It really was a hesitancy to act, and an allegiance to labor and the environment.
