I see the plus and the minus but I am sure the taxpayer is concerned that more of the construction activity going forward will have to be funded by the taxpayer proportionally than has been the case, and that is a bigger burden on the taxpayer. Going back over the years, and maybe you do not know this, were we in that ratio in the past where the majority of construction was from the State or are we heading into new territory where the majority of construction costs will come from the taxpayer? That is not sustainable either with 5 million people.
