“what we do later on, on line 16 and line 18, is we double that AVT as we go through this project if it gets built. But those revenues do not go to the places where the property tax is being overrun by state law. It now is going to go to community assistance, and then in line 7, go to the state. The precedent we're setting here is not a good one.”
