Yeah so | support this, | know there are a lot of people in our City who will be looking forward to a lower
tax rate. My question is if this aid is only a one time deal and it is not going to come next year, are we
going to be artificially reducing the rate. And if anyone here who is a State Rep can speak to whether or
not we think we will get this next year?

So | hope that any of you who are available can make it. You are free to join the free throw shooting
contest as well if you feel like you can beat Alderman O’Brien, that will be a tough thing. We look
forward to that event, to having the basketball court, thank you to Mr. Anagnost for donating the money
for this very useful project. Hopefully we will see a successful event on Friday night. That’s all | have
Madam President.

The bottom line is that unless R-19-184 is enacted tonight, there will be no City aid, no City aid will be
freed up and no school aid will be freed up either and none of the money could be used for those
purposes.

Before we start, | am going to ask Alderman Dowd under State Law that you give us the reason that you
can’t be here and if you are alone, and if you can hear us.
