And I feel that there's an awful lot of things here that are not accurate that we need to – and again, it bothers me the most.

“I'd like to see it deferred until the pension board can at least look at it, and we have their input on what they think.

“Adam, if it's too far away, they can call a special meeting any time they want. I know there's only four meetings a year, but we don't have to wait until whatever their schedule is. You could certainly bring that up. Right. We may try to do a special board meeting. There you go.”
