INCREASE THAT HELPS ALSO OFFSET WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT?

And with that, you know, being responsible commissioners also, I just always, when I think about these items that come before us, I always operate in the realm that how I survived in my home.

because I'm from that class where I've worked all my life.

My family's worked.

We had to adjust to whatever is going on.

So how I stretch those dollars, how I have to sit down and say, you know what, this has been nice for the last five years, but for me to survive the next five years, I need to cut back.

There's some things that I need to approach and maybe eliminate or maybe shave back some.

And

I'M BELIEVING AS A COMMISSION THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO ALSO CONSIDER.

SO THAT'S WHERE THIS THOUGHT IS COMING FROM BECAUSE THAT DELICATE BALANCE, I BELIEVE, WILL MAKE WHATEVER WE NEED TO DO MOVING FORWARD A LITTLE MORE SOFTER TO EMBRACE.

Commissioner, if you could, we can have this conversation.

In the direction of decrease, what amount and what would that balance, explain a little bit more for me so I can understand how the decrease would also get us to that point for a balance of keeping at a soft acceptance.

YES, I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH THAT.

I'M PONDERING WHAT I'M HEARING ALSO.

UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MAJORITY IS LEANING IN THE WAY OF

I'M EITHER STAYING OR A DECREASE.

EVEN THOUGH WE'RE AT THAT PLACE, CAN WE ALSO LOOK AT WHAT THAT ONE-POINT INCREASE WOULD LOOK LIKE FOR THE CONVERSATION, FOR THE INCREASE?

AGAIN, WHAT I'M THINKING OF IS EVEN, YOU KNOW, I KNOW WE DON'T WANT TO SEE INCREASES, BUT IF IT GETS US TO A POINT WHERE WE'RE A LITTLE BIT MORE BALANCED, THAT'S THE WHOLE GOAL.

IF IT'S DECREASE OR INCREASE,

wherever it is that we're being at the best responsibility for our neighbors, I think we should look at both sides of it.
