Thank you.

And I just want to say that I think it's important, as commissioners, that you all are open to pushing back against the recommendations and suggestions that are made by the staff.

I recognize that your job is different from what theirs is.

But I think rather than always just going with whatever it is they're proposing or suggesting, it's important sometimes to have folks who can question what's been presented, why it's been presented, and who's going to be most directly impacted by the decisions that you all will make.
