Okay.

Number two is I should know this, but the new red light cameras, speed cameras, does that information go to finance as to how many tickets are collected, or does it just go that money just go to OMB?
Preston Niblack

For red light camera violations?

Yeah.
Preston Niblack

And are the numbers up?
Preston Niblack
4:59:51

What I I think I recall is that, in fact, red light camera violations worked in the sense that the number of violations has started to go down.
