From the transcript
My name is Sherman Powell. I live I live at 516 Third Street in town, and I'm here to talk about my concern about fee increases that impact Cordova Little League. I'm a year-round resident who pays sales tax, a homeowner who pays property tax, and a gill netter who pays fish tax. I want all these taxes to go toward keeping Cordova a wonderful place to raise a family. More to the point tonight, I'm a proud father of two Little League players.
