Our effective tax rate decreased to 15.6% for the 13 weeks ended June 26, 2018 compared to 27.9% for the 13 weeks ended June 27, 2017.  For the 26 weeks ended June 26, 2018, our effective tax rate decreased to 14.2% compared to 27.2% for the 26 weeks ended June 27, 2017. These decreases are driven by new tax legislation that was enacted in late 2017.  As a result of the new tax legislation, significant tax changes were enacted including a reduction of the federal corporate tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%.  These changes were generally effective at the beginning of our 2018 fiscal year.
