From the transcript
Um, and as I've been looking at these cuts and our financial position and the really hard decisions we're going to have to make tonight, I don't know why we wouldn't um, look at that source for revenue right now. It would, it would save a lot of things that are really important to our community. Normally I don't like jumping into policy decisions that significant without a lot of work and time and effort, but if it's going to, um, change the game for this conversation, then, then I'm, I'm interested in it. So I know we won't be talking about that tonight, but And I'll make hard decisions tonight, but I will be making a case on June 8th that we, um, do something different on the revenue side so that we can reverse all of the hard decisions that we're going to make tonight. Okay.
