And thankfully our local utility company, at the time called South Carolina Electric and Gas, allowed us to not pay the bill. The city allowed us to not pay for water and sewer. But they had to pay salaries. So those three governments, the two counties and the city, would give the zoo some money. But there was no history of an operating budget. You didn’t know how many people were gonna come. You didn’t know what kind of revenue you were gonna generate. So at the end of the fiscal year, even though they’d had a little bit of supplemental income, there was this huge deficit, and it just kept building and building.
