“To make it more easy since Nomi Fest is one of my stuff. And I did propose if we're not going to do it, I don't think we do all of them, but I don't think that's the fair way. So let's just say we have $600,000. So you've got $200,000 on the side to do that. So that's the type of back and forth where the public knows. We kind of know what's going on instead of... Because I don't want to... You do the memo with us and we come here on the 15th or you post it and people don't have time to read it. A lot is going on in the world.

Your rights, if you think that this department is true, we could do that. You don't have to be an expert.
