I can honestly say this is the hardest working issue that you guys worked on in making sure that we stayed up to date on how this would impact us.
And yet we still go up there and we know what this bill is going to do.
We know the impact that it's going to make.
And then we say we're going to let the voters make the decisions.
Well, how do you let the voters make a decision when you're informed yourself?
And so this is the frustration that I feel today standing up here and speaking out for my community, because now my my district, my community is at a loss because they think property taxes is going to be ended.
They think they're going to be saving.
Well, I'm sorry to let the voters know, you will not be saving with this bill.
You're going to be paying more.
This is not a property tax cut.
This is a property tax shift.
And so, you know, it's frustrating.
You know, it's also something that I try to let people know, recognize that when you hear
that 80% of us are voting on bills that we all agree upon, that's by no surprise.
Of course, we're going to agree on certain bills, but recognize who's pulling the levers here to make sure that certain bills get heard.
When we talk about certain bills, we pass the bill for gold.
When have you ever used gold to pay for anything?
Tell me.
So it's frustrating, but I'm still hopeful.
I'm still prideful.
