Okay thank you I was unaware that we've got this building specifically deal with that all port. Revocation specifically this was born out of my time working in audit the what brought my attention to this matter long story short and I'm not going to read the entire time line to you as you guys know it takes years of resources and time to ever get to a point where a municipality charter has to be revoked and This is been going on about eight months to the attorney general's offices had. The charge is already in law. To file those pleadings wants audit has been through its work and to date nothing we're getting no contact and no reason and no action has been taken by the attorney general's office so this bill basically just provides a little incentive for the attorney general's office to very simply do their job. And interestingly enough even though this bill's been filed a wall and run in the House Committee and on the floor I still have no contact nor does anyone in audit to my knowledge from the attorney general's office. So I would appreciate a good vote and I would be happy to answer any questions. President will mark this is been going on for.
