So thank you for calling it out. Councilman Brooks, you. Thank you. All right. Madam Secretary, will you please put the next item on our screens? Councilman Espinosa, will you go ahead with your comment? I will. So thank you. Also, I wanted to say, as I sort of I'm glad I'm wearing a hat today because I feel like I'm a bit of a writer. Oh, you bet. The NWC people are here because when? Because I got to watch my colleagues, Robin, Robyn and and Stacey Gilmore sort of really ride herd on on the administration and trying to make sure that this this these measures, these tweaks, these much needed tweaks in this bill got done executed, and that the administration went further than they wanted to go and kept testing that comfort zone and making the case on why this was important and needed to be. And even sort of expressed concerns about this may not being enough, agreeing to figuring out how to monitor, take measurement, mean measure and then maybe improve the mean tweak the performance going forward. So all's I want to say is this is this bill is it expands the refund payment programs to elderly and disabled persons on property taxes. And it and it and it expands to homeowners and it does a number of things that it has been it's just been a great pleasure to watch both of my colleagues lead a whole group of very expert and capable people on their work group. And so it's just I just wanted to take a time to sort of think both Robin and Stacy, thank you.
