There’s already been, in the area of technical upgrades in prior years, $8 million spent, and I believe they’re still going through a renovation in the emergency area of the hospital. I can appreciate your argument — the underbelly of the hospital and the air-handling systems and all that. But if you don’t know what the utilization and the space requirements are going to be in that hospital unless you do a master plan, why are we spending all this money? I’m not arguing against spending capital dollars at that hospital, because they’re needed, but the master plan should come first. That’s fundamental to my argument. Why do anything unless you have a master plan?
