From the transcript
A lot of other states do it that way. You know, one thing that was talked about in the past that probably still wouldn't be popular, but, um, is a real property tax, a personal property tax, because there are lots of people who fish here who don't live here who have their boats here. Those are not taxed. And you know how that conversation goes every time we have it. Yeah, I do.
