From the transcript
During our debates, nearly every single member mentioned the critical need to have contingency fund in place for future unknowns. Let's be clear. By failing to collect the full MAPTOR amount tonight, we would be voluntarily eliminating nearly $500,000 in revenue generating capability capacity in next year. I fundamentally agree with the philosophy that if we don't need the taxpayers money, we shouldn't collect it. That's not how the MAPTOR agreement is structured.
