Bill White For Governor: Explaining His Platform

Here is my take on Bill White's campaign platform in the 2010 election for Texas Governor. Sorry it's long, but it covers ALL of the "Issues" section of his campaign website. Sorry about the formatting . . . his site is terrible when it comes to consistency from one page to the next! Original text is in black, copied verbatim from http://www.billwhitefortexas.com. My commentary is in red.

********

Jobs/Economy
Reviving Texas' Job Growth Texas has lead the nation in job growth during the depression. Not a problem.

Getting our economy back on track requires economic recovery for ordinary Texas families, not just Wall Street. Blame the bogeyman. As Texas' Governor I will work on long-term solutions to make our state more competitive in a global economy.

*Attracting jobs with a future.
>>
As a former businessman, I know what it takes to meet a payroll and make hard choices. Presumably running Houston's budget $110M in the red is a sign of well-made choices then? In this economy, it's vital that the Governor attract new businesses to the state, allow small businesses to grow, and ensure a skilled workforce through education and job training. In my time as Houston's mayor, I helped the region add more new jobs than thirty-seven states combined, and as Governor I will work to build on that success. Texas leads the country in job growth under Rick Perry. Still.

* Educating and training our workforce.
A distinguished Texas Commission on Higher Education and Global Competitiveness, appointed by Gov. Perry among others, reported (PDF) that: "Texas is not globally competitive. The state faces a downward spiral in both quality of life and economic competitiveness if it fails to educate more of its growing population (both youth and adults) to higher levels of attainment, knowledge and skills." My plan to improve education is critical for the future of our economy. This should be under the Education sector but we'll get to that part of his "plan" later. The entire NATION is failing its students due in very large part to government top-down planning in schools staffed by UNION teachers.

* Stopping the squeeze on savings created by insurance rates.
Texans have the highest rates of homeowners' insurance in the nation. In Texas, the Governor appoints an Insurance Commissioner responsible for guarding homeowner's, auto, and health insurance rates. I will choose appointees who will serve the people of Texas, who will attract a competitive group of firms offering more competitive rates. How about "I'll get the State out of the way of genuine competition?"

* Investing in critical transportation and other infrastructure.
Transportation and other infrastructure, such as wastewater treatment facilities, are critical to helping businesses grow and attracting new businesses. I will work to facilitate regional transportation solutions that promote economic development and respect private property. Regional like the Trans Texas Corridor? Oh, wait . . .
o The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) should end plans for the ill-conceived Trans-Texas Corridor, which would have been run for private interests and would not have helped Texans go from where they live to where they work. Okay, here's one point of agreement.

o TxDOT should be decentralized, with less funding for overhead and more allocated directly to individual districts, who could work with counties, cities, and regional planning organizations to set local priorities. Local governments should be allowed to use funds for traffic management, mass transit, and other programs to speed traffic along within existing rights-of-ways. Because you should ride the bus and carpool.

o The state of Texas should develop plans with counties to provide funding sources for water and sewer infrastructure in unincorporated areas. Right let's strap on more debt, just what we need.

*Using tax dollars for incentives more wisely.
Texas' next Governor should use our tax dollars for economic incentives more wisely. In the past, the Governor has given tens of millions in tax dollars to firms like Countrywide Financial, the failed subprime lender, based on promises to expand jobs in the future, and has not received the dollars back when the firms fail to perform. Corporate welfare ALWAYS fails to perform, not just when Gov. Perry does it.

Education
Public education is the most important business of state government because investments we make in students now will determine the economic future of our state. Public schools underperform private and homeschools. Texas ranks next to last of all states in the percentage of adults with high school diplomas and 45th in SAT scores. A report by Texas Select Commission on Higher Education and Global Competitiveness stated that Texas is not globally competitive and faces a downward spiral in both quality of life and economic competitiveness if we fail to educate more of our growing population. That is unacceptable. We need to hold our teachers, schools, and students accountable, but accountability must start at the top. Education must become a higher priority in the state budget. We need a new governor. The governor will not be telling your truant child to do his homework. The education of children is a family matter. The highest level of government involvement should be the City . . . and look how much left-over money Houston has for schooling under Bill White!

With new leadership, Texas can improve student achievement, increase high school graduation rates, and reduce the barriers to higher education. Yes, we need to remove the teacher's unions' influence and let teachers and families lead. As Governor, I will:

1. Expand pre-K programs that work. Texas Early Childhood Education Coalition has outlined one pathway to do so. Oklahoma expanded pre-K to increase student performance, and early childhood programs have been shown particularly effective in improving the performance of Hispanic students, who make up the majority of Texas' preschool population. Last year, Texas legislators tried to expand access to pre-K program by passing HB 130 with bipartisan support, but Rick Perry vetoed the bill. Let's warehouse children for more years? Pre-k children need to be at home with their mothers. Expansion of pre-K programs funded by the State is a gimme for women who can't be bothered to rear their own children.
   
2. Improve career and technical education by working with school districts, community colleges, and employers. High school students who must work should be matched with jobs close to school. So let them bust their tails and FIND a job close to school like I did. As governor, I will help local school officials work with local employers to create effective job banks for those students who have to work, with a requirement that the student stay in school. Great! Another bureaucracy to run over budget and never quite meet goals. Just what we need. There also should be flexible hours for classes, including online opportunities, for students who must work. Flexible hours . . . sounds like we'll need more union teachers . . . We must bridge the digital divide with technology in the classroom. Chalkboards still work Bill. Dual credit programs should be encouraged so that high school students can earn college credit and increase the likelihood that they will earn a two- or four-year degree. Most freshmen need remedial courses in college . . . why give them credit for what they are not learning?
   
3. Cut dropout rates, by treating it as an emergency when students do not return to school. In Houston we launched Expectation Graduation to cut the dropout rate 26,900 dropouts last year alone in Houston. Each fall, my wife Andrea and I led thousands of volunteers OVER 15,600 of them last year to go to the homes of high school students who had not returned to school. Approximately 8,800 (total, all years combined) students returned to school as a result, almost two volunteers per student. How efficient. and this initiative has been replicated in communities across Texas. There must be pathways to bring students who have dropped out but wish to return to school back up to grade level. Following the influx of students during Hurricane Katrina, in Houston we found that a combination of tutoring and summer school was effective. And we can reduce dropout rates by helping students keep up over the summer through voluntary summer enrichment programs, like the Summer Opportunity Sessions we organized in Houston that provided four weeks of hands-on science and math for elementary school students. The program dramatically improved performance at a low cost per student. A Brookings Institution report (PDF) (The .pdf shows that students with bad parents can benefit from additional summer schooling) provides further support for the approach.Volunteers, eh? Pull this off with fewer than ten government employees and I'm on board. More than ten per city is ANOTHER bloated government agency we don't need and can't afford. How's Houston's budget looking, again?.
   
4. Let educators teach writing, reasoning, and problem-solving skills, rather than teaching how to make a minimum score on an annual high-stakes multiple choice test. How, besides testing, do you measure student achievement while they are still in school? Improving the performance of public education requires us to attract and retain great educators who can prepare our students for a complex world. No, it requires direct involvement from interested parents. Can't say that, though because it makes disinterested parents look and feeeeeel bad. This requires competitive compensation Let's pay you more for a job a dozen others are willing to do for less money and recruitment and accountability measured by more than one test score. Three more expensive mandates to take resources away from the classroom? We must also ensure that teachers have the skills, including motivational and interpersonal skills, before they are retained with job security. "I'm your coach, but I also wanna be your pal!"Master teachers and principals ought to be incentivized to work in schools with the biggest challenges. They leave because it is futile, not because pay is low. We should identify and replicate the best practices from high-performing schools, including charter schools. Charter schools don't have to teach all the flim-flam government schools do, and do it with less money per student for better education. Good luck with that. Accountability should be based in part on measures of educational outcomes including success in finding jobs or pursuing higher education.You want to reward a 1st grade teacher on how well her kids do at finding a job after high school? Good luck with that.
   
5. Make college education more affordable for more Texans. An educated workforce is critical in today's economy, but too many families cannot afford to send their children to college because of prohibitive costs and skyrocketing tuition. College tuition in Texas public colleges has risen more than 93% since 2003, far faster than financial aid and family incomes. Funny how that happens when EVERYONE qualifies for some sort of grant, loan, or scholarship, eh? You mean if everyone can pay more a school charges more? SHOCKING! How much do those professors make, by the way? I will work to make both two year and four year programs more affordable. We can start by making sure that our school bookstores obtain textbooks and other course materials at the lowest prices From China? available and by using open source "almost as credible as Wikipedia!" and online materials when possible. And Texas students should have an opportunity to pay little or no tuition with a public service commitment after school. "Comrade, look at the benefits of national service!"

Moving forward in education and job training will produce a better economy and more jobs long-term. After all, people with more skills earn more, spend more, invest more, and that helps the whole economy. People with more skills cared to learn . . . and had parents that cared. Good luck with that.

Border Security
Bill White will get results on border security, rather than just make speeches about it. As Houston's mayor, more law enforcement officers reported to him than anyone else in Texas. Duh? It's the biggest city in Texas. Crime rates in Houston dropped to the lowest levels in decades. Because he did _______?

Bill White will fight hard and effectively for the federal resources we need to secure our border against gangs and drug and human traffickers without disrupting lawful daily commerce and travel. "Bill White: Stealing from taxpayers in other states, for YOU!"

And Bill White will not wait for Washington--he will immediately fund 1250 more positions for local and state law enforcement officers to be deployed along the border. How's Houston's budget, again?

Because of Bill White's strong, proven track record with law enforcement, he has earned the support of sheriffs responsible for protecting 98% of Texans living in counties along the border.A Democrat with a union endorsement? How surprising.

In contrast, Rick Perry has failed during almost 10 years in office to obtain the resources that Texas needs to secure our border. Bash the opposition!

As governor, Bill White will do the following:

• Fund an additional 1000 local law enforcement positions and 250 state troopers using federal grants, state appropriations and additional drug forfeiture dollars. STEAL the money. Border security is a permanent issue, not a temporary one. Perry has used federal and state funds to pay for overtime programs, but sheriffs' deputies funded by these programs are stretched thin. Bill White will work to add funding for 1000 new local police and deputy sheriffs along the border. Local police and sheriffs will be in the best position to identify those engaged in suspicious activities and collect local intelligence.
  
  The Department of Public Safety is short-staffed, and 250 additional troopers and forensics technicians will help provide resources, such as investigative capacity, across border communities.
• Obtain all available federal funding to support border security and direct sufficient discretionary funding to border security efforts. As governor, Bill White will make border security a top priority. While complaining that the federal government has not secured the border, Rick Perry has directed less than 10% of U.S. Department of Homeland Security grant funding to the border region each year.¹ Bill White will change that. Funding streams like C.O.P.S. grants (Community Oriented Policing Services) could be used to support local law enforcement, and the governor should coordinate and advocate for this kind of funding for border communities.
• Use state appropriations more effectively. Rick Perry received over $250 million to pay for border security. ^{Were there strings attached? 2} But he did not deploy the resources promptly or effectively. According to a report by the State Auditor,³ in 2009, after most of the funding period had expired for the first $142 million, Perry had only deployed about half of the funds. Some How much? $5? of the money was used for unauthorized purposes. And Perry put millions of dollars of new equipment purchased with these funds into other parts of the state and sent old equipment to the border region. We cannot protect Texans in border communities if the resources intended for them are diverted elsewhere. Because old equipment is useless?
  
• Establish a formal partnership with local and federal law enforcement agencies and other leaders along the border to determine how the state can best assist in promoting safety. OOoooh a study, how bold. The people who live and work along the border are on the front lines of border security. The state should work closely with those who are knowledgeable about the problems to develop effective programs. A meaningful partnership means more than photo opportunities or expensive, ineffective programs like $4 million for border cameras that netted about two dozen arrests.⁴ As governor, Bill White will personally seriously? attend semi-annual meetings of federal, state and local law enforcement and local political leadership all along the border to make sure all activities are coordinated and accountable. Bill White will also work to create a regional lab to assist local law enforcement with state-of-the-art forensics technology. Because city labs aren't good enough! SPEND MOAR!!!
  
• Revamp the Department of Public Safety to meet the challenges of the 21st century. In the past few years, DPS leadership has been in turmoil. Experienced staff has left the agency. Perry's fault? Chronic staffing shortages have not been addressed, and Rick Perry has lowered hiring standards. Lowering standards to allow more people to be hired doesn't address staffing shortages?
  
• The agency needs greater investigative capacity to thwart cartel activities. Not if you close the borders and KEEP gangsters locked up
  
• DPS must work cooperatively with local law enforcement and other crime-fighting agencies. Local yokels too dumb to do the job? Cooperation maximizes available resources and allows for specialization among agencies.
• DPS should have a prison intelligence unit to combat cartel-style gang activities. Gangs inside Texas prisons direct activities across the state. Taking their phones away then? No? DPS is uniquely positioned for this work because it has access to all Texas prisons.
• Assist local law enforcement agencies in adopting Secure Communities, a program that ensures that criminals in the U.S. illegally are identified and turned over to federal authorities. The feds refuse to do anything with them. This means "catch-and-release." State and local law enforcement officials can link efforts across jurisdictions to fingerprint and screen every person booked into jail against all available federal databases. Arrested on false charges? You're in the system now. Good luck getting your fingerprint file deleted, Innocent Man! Then, deportable felons identified can be held by federal authorities. Again the Feds refuse to hold them. They LET THEM GO on a promise to appear in court . . . "catch and release" gee I wonder why we have such a problem with cartels?? Under the leadership of Bill White, the City of Houston was an early participant in Secure Communities. Biometric data privacy: crushing it before anyone else!

Transportation
BILL WHITE'S CORE PRINCIPLES ON TRANSPORTATION

We need a unified vision for transportation and mobility policy in the state. For years, Governor Perry has been focused on the ill-conceived Trans Texas Corridor, which would have turned over our highways to a foreign company and taken hundreds of thousands of acres of private land by eminent domain. After years of the Trans Texas Corridor, borrowing more than $11 billion since 2004, and a top-down approach to managing TxDOT and highway projects, TxDOT is broke with no plan on how to fund projects for the future. The legislature routinely raids the gasoline tax piggy bank . . . mere coincidence. Click on the sections below to learn about Bill's approach to bringing people together for a transportation plan for Texas' future.

• Focus on the most important goals
  

  • Our transportation system should help Texans get from where they live to where they work in our major employment centers, as opposed to projects such as the failed Trans Texas Corridor toll roads. Bash the opponent!
    
    
  • Goods and people need to move around Texas in a safe and efficient manner. Sure. How?
    
    
  • We must use our transportation infrastructure efficiently by encouraging innovative programs such as flexible working hours by employees. Bill launched and implemented a program in Houston with the cooperation of over 140 organizations and had measurable results in improving mobility in the city.This link is broken.
    

• + Respect local priorities and decision making

  • We must increase the importance of local decision-making in setting and implementing transportation priorities.
    
    
    • We should have more direct grants Pennies from heaven! Nobody pays it! to regional transit organizations, cities, and counties.
      
      
    • We should have mechanisms in place that foster regional agreements among geographic areas, the government, and contractors, where decisions would be made entirely at a local level. Local agreements for regional plans? This is gibberish.
      
    
    
  • We must give voters in various regions more options for financing transportation improvements, How about "cash?" include the public and civic leaders in all of these discussions, and respect the will of the voters.

• Run TxDOT like a business profitably? , so that it's transparent, responsive, and accountable to Texans

  • We must immediately end all authorization for the failed Trans Texas Corridor, Yes. and must make the Texas Department of Transportation more responsive to Texans by respecting private property rights and using eminent domain as the last alternative. Who thinks it's not a last alternative already?
    
    
  • We must ensure accountability at TxDOT so that when mistakes are made, those responsible are held accountable.
    
    
    • It is unacceptable that no one at TxDOT was fired or even held responsible, by name, after "ineffective internal communication, a complex reporting structure, and misunderstanding of reported data led the Department of Transportation to over-schedule $1.1 billion in planned contracts for fiscal year 2008." If it was nobody's fault, who should be fired?
      
      
    • According to the State Auditor's Office, TxDOT "failed to immediately communicate the error and the main causes" to its local partners and the public.
    
    
  • To improve transparency, TxDOT should have clear, multi-year budgets which describe in detail capital improvements and operating expenses. The legislature should vote on the budget at each Session.
    
    
  • We must phase out diversions of motor fuels taxes for purposes that are unrelated to highway construction of TxDOT's operations. Phase out? How about chop off!
    
    
  • We must reduce TxDOT's dependency on debt says the Mayor with a $110M deficit!. Since 2004, TxDOT has issued more than $11 billion in debt and will likely issue another $2.9 billion in the next two years. Any issued debt must be balanced by an appropriate source of repayment. No clear plan has been articulated that ensures sustainable future revenues to pay off this debt, without cannibalizing necessary Operations & Maintenance budgets.

• Improve federal advocacy by the Governor and TxDOT

  • We must aggressively and effectively pursue the return of federal funds paid by Texas taxpayers for all state and local transportation needs, including mass transit and high-speed rail. The solution is to not let the money go in the first place ...
    
    
  • We will work with TxDOT, a bipartisan Congressional delegation, and the federal government to pursue every opportunity that will improve mobility across Texas.
    
    
    • Recently, Rick Perry failed to provide a "unified vision" that would have improved Texas' chances at receiving a share of the $8 billion in federal money set aside for high-speed rail. Because this is not Japan. No high speed rail for Texas.
      
      
    • Instead, Texas received one-half of one-tenth of one-percent (0.05%) or $4 million. This ranked Texas second-to-last among states that received funding for high-speed rail (only beating Minnesota). Among large states with a population greater than 10 million, Texas ranked last in terms of both awards received and per-capita expenditure on high-speed rail.Good.

• + Developing a long term plan, with input from "bottom up"

• The Texas 2030 committee has identified $315 billion to finance Texas' transportation infrastructure and mobility needs until 2030. Even by most optimistic estimates available revenue will cover half this amount. So . . . spend less then?
  
  
• By 2040 Texas' population is expected to reach 35.8 million people. That is a 71.5% increase from 1980. How many of those are illegal aliens?
  
  
• We must have regional and state mobility solutions that urgently address Texas' transportation needs and allow the state to grow. Like ____?

Energy/Environment
Texas is a national leader in traditional energy, and must why must? have a Governor who will help us be a national and international leader in energy efficiency and energy supplies for our future as well. With a Governor committed and experienced in the energy business, both traditional and renewable, we can attract new jobs, bring down electricity bills, and protect our natural resources so that our children and grandchildren can enjoy clean air, clean water and open land.Because really we're worst than Los Angeles. Oh, wait . . .

Learn about Bill's track record here.

• Diversifying our sources of energy.

  As Texas' Governor, I will promote more clean sources of energy. Texas has some of the best gas, wind, and solar resources in the nation. We should lead the nation in the use of these resources to promote Texas jobs, reduce America's dependence on foreign oil, and clean our air. We already do. I helped Houston become the #1 public purchaser of renewable energy in the country. Renewables cost more . . . how's Houston's budget looking, again?
  

• Cutting electricity bills through efficiency.

  We can reduce prices for all consumers by improving energy efficiency. We should:
  • Promote adoption of strong but realistic minimum energy efficiency standards to cut electricity usage in homes and buildings, and enable local governments to adopt even stricter standards in their building codes. Read: unfunded mandates for private construction
    
  • Scale up a program to cut utility bills in older homes with modest home improvements. Houston's innovative Residential Energy Efficiency Program cut power use by more than 10% for over 7000 homes, and we should target more than a million homes across the state within five years. This program uses tax dollars to upgrade private homes.
    
  • Educate homeowners on energy improvements and provide needed summer jobs for young people with a statewide Youth Conservation Corps, which has been successful in Houston. Brainwash the kiddies and use tax dollars to give out fluorescent light bulbs. Great.
    
  • Creating regulatory incentives to protect consumers.
    Texas deregulated prices of electricity in 1999 with support from then Lt. Governor Perry. Since 2007, there has been no limit on consumer prices. Over the last decade, Texas went from having utility bills lower than the national average to bills now higher than the national average. The Public Utility Commission should be given the authority to avoid both blackouts and price spikes by providing incentives for reserve margins, energy efficiency, and cleaner fuels, including natural gas. I have been urging the state to take action on these issues for years.The problem is not DEregulation, its HALF-ASSED deregulation. Get the .gov the rest of the way out of the way of genuine competition!
    

• Protecting our natural environment.

  Texas is blessed with extraordinary natural resources. Our future economic growth depends on attracting businesses and workers to our state, and that requires a clean environment. In Houston, we have made great progress in reducing toxic emissions by holding people accountable for their actions, and our efforts are benefitting [SIC]the country. Learn more here. This link goes to an article about Bill White encouraging business-crushing environmental regulations. As Governor, I will continue to protect Texans' health and the environment for future generations of Texans.
  
  I will appoint people to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality who understand the importance of public health and fair and open, science-based decision-making. So, in light of climategate, no anti-CO2 stuff then? No solar due to inefficiency? Lots and lots of drilling for gas and oil, and LOTS of nuclear power because it's clean, safe, reliable, and efficient? Under Gov. Perry, our state now risks a takeover by the federal government of our air quality permitting program because of the TCEQ's failure to operate a program that meets long-standing rules that are constantly being tightened that protect public health. The TCEQ should allow the public a hearing before it authorizes big plants to put dozens of tons of cancer-causing pollutants into our air. More regulation! It protects you from the Bogeyman!

Health Care

Cutting Healthcare Costs for Families

Too many families, including those with and without health insurance, risk financial disaster because of the costs of the healthcare they need. Parents cannot get preventive care for their children and resort to using emergency rooms, a costly form of care that Texans pay for in property taxes and rising insurance costs. Premiums for group health insurance are rising much too quickly for workers and their employers because of the need to cover the costs of those who do not have insurance. As Governor I will work to increase access to affordable healthcare for Texas families, and lower the cost for those currently insured.Illegal aliens are crushing the system, what about the costs THEY add?

Increasing the number of covered Texans

• We must expand enrollment in existing programs like the Childrens Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and Medicaid that draw down federal dollars paid in by Texas taxpayers. Texas has lost almost $1 billion in federal CHIP funds because the governor did not act. Don't bother to explain why As governor, I will work with the legislature to expand CHIP, rather than threaten to veto expansion bills that have broad bipartisan support. Bipartisan: all of us plus a couple of the other guys we can buy off!
  
• We must develop new solutions like three-share Read: taxpayers are robbed for a third programs that allow employers, employees, and public/private partnership funding to each contribute to the cost of affordable premiums for basic care. We implemented two innovative programs in Houston which could scale up to the state level. To learn more about our three-share program, click here. To learn more about the Houston "pay or play" program that also helped expand access, click here.
• As Houston's mayor, I worked alongside Texas doctors and small businesses to push reforms in the legislature to make health insurance more affordable for small businesses. As Governor, I will continue to push these reforms forward or Texas will continue to fall behind other states in enabling small businesses to thrive and grow.
• To make health care affordable: allow true competition, remove mandated coverages, and allow for plans that cover ONLY catastrophic illness and part of preventative care. Throwing more tax money at it won't do the trick.
  
• Promoting stable, community based medical practices and clinics as the bedrock of health care delivery -- More patients should have a relationship with a doctor or clinic that can provide preventive and primary care, make early diagnoses, and help manage chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. We must create a financial system giving primary care providers sufficient incentives to fulfill this important role. Read: take tax dollars from you to pay for bums and welfare moms to go to the clinic, more, still, again. Strengthening Texas' network of community health centers is an important step. In Houston we expanded access to primary and preventative care by locating community health centers in city clinics.We need more doc-in-a-box and less big-box clinics. Note he does NOT come out against socialized medicine, indeed rather soft-pitches small-time socialized medicine.

Veterans

Welcoming Veterans

We have a sacred trust with those who wear the uniform of the United States of America. Ensuring that the 1.7 million veterans in Texas receive the services they need is vital. That is why I supported Proposition 8, an Amendment to our Texas Constitution that will bring a VA Hospital to the Valley and help boost existing facilities elsewhere in Texas. Build new, as opposed to make it less hard to use existing facilities: waste? As mayor, I created the Returning Veterans Initiative. This special initiative gives returning veterans the welcome they deserve with coordinated social services, reductions in red tape, and employment opportunities. As Texas' Governor I will work to scale up successful initiatives and ensure our veterans receive the respect they deserve.

Insert gratuitous picture of Bill White with a Black, Female military-ish looking person.

********

That's it. That's why he thinks he should be Governor instead of King Perry. At the end of the day, though, he still ran Houston $110M in deficit and sounds like a squishy leftist at worst, a people-pleaser at best.

Bottom line: please hold your nose and vote Rick Perry back into office again. Medina would have been better but her campaign bombed. Take me to your lizard.
