 Peter, yo hey I was curious, your mayoral platform is going to theoretically cut tax rates by 1% each year, but wouldn’t you effectively accomplish the same goal by not raising taxes at all during your term?

If you let the system work as it currently does, wouldn’t keeping tax rates the same accomplish the same goal?

It may not be so punchy compared to your plan, but it would be a little bit slower easing into it and perhaps a little bit less painful to your constituency.
