“Um, for one, I want everybody to understand that when you work for a government entity, everything is public. This is the citizens money. This is taxpayers money that the citizens are your boss. So anytime that I ask questions or do anything, it's not to point anybody out or say somebody is making this or that. It's just to point out the problems and to be transparent with the citizens and you know, that are essentially the bosses of this city. They run this city. We work for the city.

“Yeah. The only thing I have to say is just that, I mean, with the time that we've spent, I mean, if we're not going to increase the usage, And then we say what we're saying to the citizens, we're going to raise your bill, but this is not beneficial because nobody we don't have enough usage in recycling. I mean, that's basically what we're saying. And I get the whole trying to compare it to the quality of life. But at the end of the day, when we have people that are struggling to pay their bills and we're going to raise their bills on the service, it's not being utilized. It's not fair to the…”

“Make them feel comfortable. I was just going to add, you know, the thing about it is, is I took a, I mean, I've been to green street plenty of times and I went there today just to go and see, you know, what, what the concerns were.

“Sean, I have a question. Yes. So on the 7 and a 2%, is that a city's policy, state policy, law? Which one is that, the 7 and a 2%? As far as how you divide it, like you get 7% here, 2% there. Is that a city policy or is that a state law?”

“Okay, let's stay on this slide for a second. So when, just for example, like the downtown advertising, 27,500, what would you say? I mean, because somebody came up with that number. What would you say you would spend 27,000? Because mostly I see is Facebook. I don't see any commercials that y'all have done in the past. Is this what we're?”

“And the reason why I'm going so in-depth on this is because the hotel tax is really the biggest chunk of money that we as a council can kind of, better Longview to attract people to Longview. So when I want to see where these dollars are going, that's why I'm asking, hey, if you're going to spend $30,000 here, is it truly going to bring that? So I really want to look at where we're spending this money at because this is where we really can affect what we bring people to Longview with is this money.”

“Can we go higher? Could you go higher? No, ma'am. No, like what I'm asking is, is the 2% set that we're going to say is 2% on mob cop and before anybody... get any upset. I'm all in favor of anything because that is one of our biggest attractions is my car. But what I'm asking is Is the 2% set to specifically go to mob cop? Is that a statute? Do we pick where the 2% goes? That's what I'm asking you, Robert.”
