From the transcript
Thank you, Madam Mayor. So yep, I appreciate your comments, assembly. Woman hours, but I 100% disagree. Um, your ordinance absolutely brings another tax on top of the taxes that we have. It is, um, an obvious attempt to circumvent or kill my tax ordinance, and when I see it again on the agenda, I will also move to remove it again.
