And listen, I am a little bit frustrated but we we got to figure out how to work together which is why as soon as I was notified, I went to work.

I mean the providers were the first person who rang the alarm for me and so again I said this at the top that we have to make sure that we are a team and we're using all our collective tools because this is something that means a lot to people and understand how this is gonna affect the city.

I have a couple more questions on the childcare vouchers also.
4:10:26
One I want to start with why are the child care vouchers enrollment has risen significantly over the past few fiscal years.
4:10:34
I know some of it is because I know the cliff is looking out because of the increase in providers, but there are also some requirements I know when HRA was here they kind of spoke about it, but I just want to make sure we have it on record of like what's the totality of this huge cliff?
