How did this particular structure evolve . We talked about this and what some of the features that were problematic to the district. That if we were going to make any changes like splitting up the reserve, wed also change the first and foremost of those changes regarding the lay offs. For that matter, allowing the majority to change the conditions. Those actually came from the controller as well through sort of a brainstorming discussion and, you know, i think those are those would be very favorable to the district so i was happy to agree with those suggestions on his part. I think those are t...
