supportive of but you know realizing there is real money behind it we'll will will have to follow along with that as we go to the budget development process that is my request really if it turned out it is not possible to fund or tradeoffs have to happen if we produce intents some of the big-ticket items in there to have a road map in the first year i think we have to continue to locate how the budget is looking before we do that to get a sensed of what what we can fund and what can wait until later and how to go back the multiple year initiative in that plan that is a lot of positive stuff briefly the budget
