No. There's been a lot of excuses. Early on, the oyster beds, for instance, it's a three or four-year process. They came in and said, 'OK, we're going to make it right; we're going to pay you for four years.' Then they turned around and…
If they would have worked 24-7 on the cleanup, we would have seen most of the area cleaned up and bank stabilization in place. We're losing land every day because of the lack of the response.
