On the recordApril 13, 1994
If those counties were not luring in other people, tourists, to create more hardship, this case would be a stronger case. But the reality is that the money will go to counties that do not deserve the money. It is a blind contribution. It goes to local governments for whatever purpose the local government chooses to use it. It will increase the Federal budget deficit by over $400 million in the next 5 years. And in my view we ought to say, no, let us not increase the Federal budget deficit another $400 million.
