I would love to take them.

Mayor Bell, I have a quick question regarding the housing funding, however it may be done.

Many municipalities, as you know, get the gas tax funding. It's given directly to municipalities, who then decide what they want to do with that funding. Not only that, they have the ability to look at what they're going to get anywhere from two, five or 10 years out, so you can plan and work as a council to meet certain goals.

Would something like that, where the funding is sent directly to municipalities, be even a fraction better than what you're dealing with now?
