“I think it's it's really important to have public input, and this is just another idea on the table. I've heard loud and clear that people want lower property taxes, and this is one way to get there, that it just gives people ideas. And I think it could generate ideas from the public that would be good for us.”

From the transcript
I just want to say I really appreciate that, um, that Miss McKee is willing to take another look at this. I think it's it's really important to have public input, and this is just another idea on the table. I've heard loud and clear that people want lower property taxes, and this is one way to get there, that it just gives people ideas. And I think it could generate ideas from the public that would be good for us. So, um, I just appreciate the courtesy of having it out there and being able to discuss it on the 16th.
