not need it. Did not discuss number 43, hci equity partners, we did discuss
item no. 45. Which involves the purchasing and contracting authority of counties.

attorney, legal's advice, or try to and two weeks from today you will get
a follow-up legal reading on the document that we have before us. Okay? Any
