I just have a question in regard to the senior citizens and disabled persons property tax. Is there a possibility of being able to change the criteria? Right now you get your assessment in the mail, you have to go to the municipal office, you have to fill out an application every year to get the rebate. Is there any way that you can simplify the process where basically once you reach a certain age, 60 or 65, that you come in every three years or every five years? Most of these people, we know exactly what their status is there. Most of them are senior citizens. We know what their pensions are. We know what their income is, but it seems like having to do the same thing over and over, is that something that can be looked at in regard to revising some of these programs and making them more user friendly so you can come in once you reach a certain age, based on your income, which we already pretty well know, that you don’t have to go in every year? You’d say go in every three years or every five years or something. Has that ever been contemplated for that program?
