I think the number one issue on the ballot moving forward November 8th is the economy and inflation and we've all suffered the price of ice. For example, I was paying a buck 99 for a 10 pound bag of ice. I'm now paying $2.79. Everybody's been impacted by this. Every hurdle and obstacle that we go through, we can overcome it. And it just takes the right people in the right places at the right time to overcome these issues. (11:37–11:42)

CLAIM

Asserts an increase in the price of ice from $1.99 to $2.79.
