                       WARREN COUNTY TAX HOLIDAY

  (Mr. CHABOT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CHABOT. Madam Speaker, inflation is at the highest level that we 
have seen in decades and rising. The cost of buying a home is up. The 
cost to fill your gas tank is up. The cost to feed your family is up. 
Even the cost of buying Christmas presents for your children or 
grandchildren is up.
  While the pandemic certainly bears some blame, the failed policies of 
the Biden administration have made things considerably worse. His 
administration and his allies here in Congress have spent trillions of 
dollars that we don't have, which inevitably will lead to higher taxes 
and higher prices for items that hardworking Americans buy every day.
  Despite the bad news nationally, one county in my congressional 
district actually has good news for its residents. Warren County 
Commissioners Tom Grossmann, Shannon Jones, and David Young announced 
recently that they would not be collecting property taxes from their 
residents this year. The commissioners are able to do this by 
exercising fiscal responsibility, as we ought to do here in the House, 
and putting aside money for a rainy day, rather than spending money 
that they didn't have.
  Kudos to the Warren County commissioners for giving their taxpayers a 
little extra holiday cheer this year.
