“I understand, Senator, and listen, I do understand what you're saying, and I agree with a lot of it.

Then we'll hear the final verdict of the lawyers on what they recommend.”

“So again, I'm open to it. I'm open to, but what I'm hearing is it's too specific. I am okay with what Regalado is saying. But I understand that it's restrictive. And so, listen, if it doesn't pass and the voters don't see the benefit of private. Revenue to offset a shortfall of taxpayer dollars. We could only we could only take the horse. If they don't want to drink the water, we can't force them to. So I'm comfortable with that amendment. Gilbert, I'd like to call a vote on it. You may, go ahead.”
