And we've reported in some of them.

So, again, I don't know if I answered your question, but I just say that this is more interesting than my question.

Yeah, we submitted those public records requests and we were told that such records don't exist.

They say that they only under Florida law are only required to provide a record.

If requested, if the record actually exists.

So they're not there.

What they're saying is they're not required to create the record.

So does it records?

I can't tell you if they're being.

Well, that's that's fine.

I was assuming you're correct that there would be an obligation on their end, if not under state law, then under the city's own media policies, which would require them to provide the information that we would be requesting.

So when they told me the records don't exist, we asked them, OK, so help us find access to the access to information.

How do we go about requesting or how do we who can we speak to to answer these questions?

To our surprise,

The Office of Communications was told to no longer engage with us on that line of questioning by the city attorney's office.

And when we needed to press the issue, we asked the city attorney, George Weisong, if he could look into it.

He promised he would, but then we didn't hear it again.

It's our efforts to to reengage the city in our efforts to get what we're totally calling actual compensation or total compensation.

I've been met with this legal response that they've been told not to engage with us.

Yeah, and you asked, do the records exist?
