On the recordJune 20, 2000
We had one in our district, and I will tell the gentlewoman they are suffering. We had water and sewage provided, but we have not had the second provision for the enterprise community. We did not get an Empowerment Zone. But even the enterprise community allowed us to bring water and sewer and to entice economic development. Now that they are almost ready, we do not have that additional resource to make sure we have the kind of infrastructure that would attract the businesses to those communities. We do not have the money for the staff capacity. As the gentlewoman well knows, the collaboration to make this hatch requires a lot of people working together, and you need to have staff in order to do that, and that is what we are suffering from.
