“I went to the rodeo this year on the second night. It was fantastic. The first night, as I recall, was focused on our soldiers out at Fort Hood. And I drove by there the first night. And I saw all the military families walking up the street, all the kids real happy, all the kids wearing their cowboy hats. So I think that the Rodeo Killeen is not only a great thing for the city of Killeen, but it's very important for our soldiers and families out at Fort Hood. They really enjoy it. So thank you to Rodeo Killeen for taking care of our soldiers and their families. Thank you.”

“So just for perspective, the average residential increase will be $160.44 per year, and the average commercial increase will be $537.84 a year. It's a big increase, but it sounds like If the council was to say no, it would be even more of an increase.”
