I mean, the law department spokesperson said it to a reporter that they expected the funds that they expected spending to continue at similar levels?
Muriel Goode-Trufant
2:30:10
Yes.
2:30:10

So if you're talking about it being the same cost, that may not be an accurate representative because because now two people are being paid.
Lincoln Restler
2:30:54
Okay.
