“I have a couple real quick. You mentioned on the bond. you know, that we had, when we asked the voters to pass that, that we said it would be 6.9 cents. You said we're right around 3 cents. It doesn't mean that we might ever get to the 6.9, right? I mean, with sales tax, general self-finance, we're going to pay off one-time expenditures and stuff, right?”

“Okay. And then, you know, you showed a slide on here where about 18, you know, Residential property owner pays about 18% of the general fund revenue.

“I have a question on this. So going back to your slide, we're talking about new revenue and where it shows what you had it on, where it went toward. So you hear a lot about adopting the no new revenue rate, right? So if we adopted the no new revenue rate, That would generate from our new growth about $1.9 million, right? Yes, sir. That's correct. So somewhere in that 6.2 would have to be cut?”
