And then my final question, opioid settlement funding.
6:48:27
From my understanding, there's about $90,000,000 that have been allocated to the city total since the since the settlement happened.
6:48:35
I still have not been able to get a breakdown of what those numbers are and which ZIP codes and which agencies I mean, not agencies.
6:48:43
Sorry.
6:48:43
But which ZIP codes and services that they've gone to because that money is supposed to go back to the community.
6:48:48
I still have not been able to get a comprehensive report.
6:48:51
I saw the report that came out.
6:48:53
It doesn't really say a lot substantively, so I really would love to know how those dollars are being spent.
Jacques Jiha

I believe there's going to be an announcement version regarding where the investment have been made.
6:49:05
And so you should definitely work with your h HMH and to get all the info that you need about this.
6:49:11
But I believe there's something soon coming.
Linda Lee
6:49:13
Okay.
6:49:13
And hopefully, there's room to make recommendations
