So the...

Lynn C. Schulman

The two of you that are against this, you do realize that if this gets rejected, that they can build as of right, elected officials have nothing to do with it, right up against the Fontaine.

Lynn C. Schulman

You do realize that, correct?

Member of the Public - Kitty Rudiman

I am aware, and I don't know what I'm going to do.

Lynn C. Schulman

No, I'm just asking.

Member of the Public - Kitty Rudiman

Of course I'm aware.

Lynn C. Schulman

Okay, okay.

Member of the Public - Kitty Rudiman

I've been aware.

Member of the Public - Kitty Rudiman
