As Senator GRAHAM indicated. that can play out to as much as $105 to $110 million in additional construction costs. This is on top of a commitment that the people of Dade County made last year. They passed. believe it or not. a $980 million bond program to build new schools. This new wave of immigrants. the Nicaraguans that came in. they did not take into consideration at all. So our concern is that not only are we having the impact of these new Nicaraguan students and all the other things that are related...we cannot get any Federal assistance. We have been working all year to try to get additional funds.
