Notable Quotes (3)
If we stagger it, when we buy the next one in, 2030, that will have the new engine. you will end up having to pay more for that model.
My question is is this going to affect the levy? Are we going to have to levy for some of this money in the future?
I think the leasing is going to have the least amount of impact on our residents while protecting them at the same time.
