I welcome the witnesses and compliment them on the work in the past week. I want to focus on the local property tax and how it is distributed to local government. I welcome Mr. John McCarthy's repeated reference to fairness and that a review of the distribution process would proceed. Will he describe how the model for the distribution of local property tax was developed in the first place?
