There was already a state plan in place to replace the lines, but I want you to
understand the concept of paying for one thing at a time; receive delivery for
1st invoice (Bipartisan InfrastructureA Act) before paying for 2nd invoice
(Inflation Reduction Act.)

Now we're waiting for delivery of all kinds of stuff, not just lead pipes, but
where's our earth cooling machine? Where's our inflation reduction? I don't
see any "inflation-related price increases" coming back down. Yet all this
stuff is paid for in full by the taxpayers (and by future generations.)
