9:21 am
and costs will go up but increased costs to do business the types of facility between us and the district courts system and the types of metering that maybe encompassed and the types of impasse costs this puts us at a competitive disadvantage and it basically has a negative impact on some of the program like street light and renewal generation we want to make sure that the terms and conditions are we can stay in business to attract now customers we want to continue to simply our customers and bring on potential new customers and avoid the systems and requirement that we don't believe are warden
