We welcome it. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We looked closely at the facts and believe we came to the right decision. \u00a0We try hard to do what\u2019s right and believe that we have done that. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, can we please get back to talking about government waste and overspending and tax levels and lousy schools?
