They pay a lot of personal property taxes in my county, the county government. I was a county commissioner before I came here. I know about those checks. They foot the bills on a lot of education. They buy a lot of pickups, and they buy a lot of services in counties. Once it leaves or once that has eroded, that business has a hard time coming back. Senator, we cannot live on just tourism or recreation alone on that land, because recreation will not pay for it. They will not pay you $1.36 an AUM." @ PoliticalQuotes.com

I sure do not want to lose them as a viable corporation. They do a lot of business in my State. They buy my barley. They are not just a one-faceted company. They pay a lot of personal property taxes in my county, the county government. I was a county commissioner before I came here. I know about those checks. They foot the bills on a lot of education. They buy a lot of pickups, and they buy a lot of services in counties. Once it leaves or once that has eroded, that business has a hard time coming back. Senator, we cannot live on just tourism or recreation alone on that land, because recreation will not pay for it. They will not pay you $1.36 an AUM.
