Moving on. Mr. Miltenberger, did you have a question? Moving on to page 6-10, Municipal and Community Affairs, information item, active position summary. Mr. Yakeleya.

Total grants and contributions, $3.365 million.

They get this bill in the mail and they get all rattled because they’ve got a bill. For them, in some cases, some of them actually pay their bill without realizing you don’t have to.

Myself, personally, I have had several seniors come to me and show me their bill and I’ve told them, well...
