The growth stabilized at approximately 3% for the next full year until it experienced another drop in
               February 2017 to 2.69% and continued to decline until it bottomed out in November 2017 with a
               negative growth factor of -1.6%.  It then began an extended recovery, eventually peaking in June
               2019 at 6.29% growth.  Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic which became widespread in March
               2020 began another prolonged decline falling to -4.2% in September 2020 and eventually bottoming
               out at -15% in April 2021.  As the economy reopened throughout FY21, sales tax growth climbed
               from historic lows reaching -2.4% by September 2021.

               Since then, growth has risen exponentially culminating at 18% by the end of FY23.
