But today, I'm proud to announce some more good news. Our property tax rate is decreasing for the sixth consecutive year. This builds on steps I've taken to help Kentuckians save, including Temporarily cutting the gas tax by 10 cents, saving Kentuckians more than $26 million at the pump. I froze the gas tax ahead of an expected 27 cent increase on July 1, saving Kentuckians about 1.7 million. That's 2.7 cent increase. (12:02–12:09)
