The gentlewoman raises a perfectly legitimate point about the family foresters. The bulk of the family foresters in my district would be perfectly well covered under the $6 million exemption. I have met with them. I meet with their association. They would be covered under the Pomeroy exemption. What they would not be covered under is any relief from sales tax which is unjust. And the gentlewoman ought to join me in that effort and fix that.
