So the tax levy, I know you're familiar with that, they're lower in 2026 than when I was elected in 2020, and it's lower than it was in 2008. So that's one part of the formula. And the second is We've had significant economic growth, like almost doubled the property value in the 12 years I've been to the county. Those two things combined have cut our tax rate in half. And at the same time, the way we held that levy flat was by making government substantially smaller. (33:31–33:39)
