I hear from people that affordability is just so difficult right now in the aftershock of inflation and things like that. So we certainly don't want to be part of the problem.

At least a little bit of relief when maybe the rest of the entities will have some increases. Since last we spoke, you delivered the state of the county address. So I guess I'll just ask you straightforward, what is the state of Washington County? We're absolutely thriving. (18:32–18:44)
