The question
you have to askyourselfis...
:32:06
doyou wantyour county to be
thought ofas one big Superfund site?.
:32:11
We've got Carbonville.
:32:13
Or one big migrant labor camp?.
No offense intended.
:32:16
Or doyou want Silver City...
:32:19
emerging like a shining phoenix
from the ashes?.
:32:23
The land.
:32:24
Bentel Corporation
had no further use for it.
:32:27
And, of course, it's been classified
as a degraded habitat.
:32:31
Meaning?.
:32:32
Meaning the environmental folks
won't be breathing down our necks...
:32:36
once we get
this project rolling.
:32:38
But the soil is still full of
heavy metals. Ifyou dig a well-
:32:41
We're not digging anywells.
We've got some folks downstate...
:32:45

:32:48
Whywould they do that?.

:33:06
for a healthy,

:33:08
- How doyou know that's gonna happen?.
- The price support is a line item...

pushed into the federal budget
everyyear by our senator,Jud Pilager.
:33:18
He told you that-
:33:20
Chuck. Hot on the campaign trail.
:33:22
- How's it going?.
- Good, good.
:33:24
- You know our man here?.
- Governor.
:33:27
Don't jump the gun.
:33:29
You're 15 up in the polls.
:33:31
Hey, I'd like to introduceyou...
:33:33

out in the trenches.

:33:43
It's such a pleasure.
:33:46
Hey, where's your electric train?.
:33:51
