Zach Wamp: “The little people are going to be hurt. That is why I drew the correlation of one acre of land, a little small property…”

On the recordMarch 2, 1995
The little people are going to be hurt. That is why I drew the correlation of one acre of land, a little small property owner, who maybe they want to subdivide that property and sell a building lot off a piece of property they inherited from their parents, and they want to be able to do that. The Federal Government could intervene here and take a small portion, the whole value of their property and all of their equity could be lost because of more Federal Government than our Founding Fathers ever bargained for.
