Mr. Chairman, the money for tax-based communities went up because the Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund has provided dollars — this is a federal program — to the communities in the area of water and water treatment plants. For this year there’s $1.779 million. Next year, however, that program will expire and sunset and there will be no new dollars in that area.
