Tom Coburn: “I am talking about local property rights, to make sure everybody that was included in it had their individual rights as…”

On the recordJuly 15, 1997
I am talking about local property rights, to make sure everybody that was included in it had their individual rights as property owners checked as well. That is one of the real complaints. We can ignore it and say everybody is fanatics, flatlanders, and the know-nothings. But the fact is there are some genuine concerns about property rights associated with this issue. The gentleman can step on it, ignore it, and say they are just goofballs and ignorant.
