We're just gonna need if you respond, if you could respond through the mic.

I I just wanted to say one thing.
1:10:33
This provision for most of us would be impossible to meet.

Nobody has $200,000 to give to the city, I think, in our in our circumstances.

Quickly.
Ronnie Wolf
1:10:52
Not a property tax.
1:10:53
This is nothing to do with the transfer tax.
1:10:56
This is an additional tax that it has been put on us to as a burden basically and has nothing to do with us.
1:11:09
We are artists.
1:11:11
We are seniors.
1:11:12
And We should not be responsible for funding city art nonprofits.
