"that price cap, that commitment that we can get this project done with a cap on the price at $16, is an extraordinary commitment. It is a commitment that we're able to make on the basis of how 381 was put together. If there were a significant change to the tax structure, for example, going from 2 mils to 3 mils would be a 50% increase on the tax burden as set out in HB 381. That would really put in— that would really challenge our ability to maintain that $16 price cap."

If there were a significant change to the tax structure, for example, going from 2 mils to 3 mils would be a 50% increase on the tax burden as set out in HB 381. That would really put in— that would really challenge our ability to maintain that $16 price cap.
