19 years at 4-1-1-9-3, I think we can hit 20 years.

I'm also not in favor of an increase

to the millage.

But I think we should leave it alone and focus on how we can make cuts and how we could do things in a leaner way.

I'm looking forward to that discussion.

We have a lot of things on our plate right now.

So I just think this is the wrong year.

We had other years where we might have looked at a millage rate decrease and we did not.

BUT I JUST THINK I'M VERY MUCH OPPOSED TO A MILLAGE RATE DECREASE HEADING INTO THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

I DON'T THINK IT MAKES ANY SENSE WITH EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE'RE FACING, EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE NEED TO DO.

IT WAS MY PREFERENCE, I THINK THE STATE LEGISLATURE

SHOULD HAVE NOT DEFLECTED WITH THIS BILL.

I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN THE REAL CHALLENGES HEAD ON LIKE PROPERTY INSURANCE PREMIUMS, THINGS LIKE THAT, AUTO INSURANCE PREMIUMS.

THERE ARE WAYS THAT PEOPLE COULD HAVE SAVED MONEY WITHOUT THIS DRASTIC APPROACH TO WHAT IT WILL DO TO CITIES AND COUNTIES.

SO I, AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO BASICALLY TELL YOU THAT I DON'T THINK THIS IS A GOOD YEAR TO LOOK AT A MILLAGE RATE DECREASE.

THANK YOU.

GREAT.

THANK YOU.

I definitely at minimum want to keep the millage rate exactly where it is.

It's my view.
