Hey. So would a study— if you did a study, would it be limited to inside the city limits, or would it say— you know, in Seward, anyone who stays or eats or anything outside of the city limits is not paying bed tax, is not paying sales tax. I've always been curious about the impact of that, or the loss of that possible revenue. Don't you have a borough? A borough tax as well for bed tax anyway?
