From the transcript
And the mill rate is $500,000. The mill rate change is $500,000. You also have to remember too 1 percentage point covers the drop that we would receive seasonally in the winter. So we don't— we're not going to receive any tax revenue in Q1 and Q4. So that first percentage point covers that, that shift.
