Actively Quotes
We believe that the completion techniques that further improved our drilling economics in Johnson County can be applied to our acreage in the western counties where we have seen improved drilling results over the past three months. This provides the assurance to actively pursue development in these areas.
-
Affairs Quotes
What they're trying to do is to create the opportunity for them to be able to develop their land without them having to worry about someone challenging the development based upon the sprawl or the population projection rules, and those are two key concepts that the state Department of Community Affairs and counties use to determine whether a development is appropriate.
-
Bay Quotes
We are also moving forward with our plans to lease eight branch sites in Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk, Pinellas and Manatee counties, marking our entrance into Hillsborough, Pasco and Polk counties and increasing our presence in Pinellas and Manatee counties. These eight new locations, which we expect to open in 2006, will bring Coast's branch total to 20 offices in the greater Tampa Bay area. While these new locations will temporarily decrease short- term profitability, they should provide solid contributions to earnings in future periods.

Bigger Quotes
We didn't want to go halfway; we didn't want to win counties last week and have conferences taken away from us. I think this may have been even bigger than last week. We're just psyched about the rest of the season. All there is to look forward to now is the state championships, which we want. I know we're going to get there.
-
Although Quotes
When you get to the counties it's like a new season and no matter what your record during the regular season, everyone is invited. Everyone gets their kids prepared for their match-ups and if they are favorable, you can do well. The exciting thing about it is that everybody is given a fresh start, although from a coaching perspective, Ward Melville comes very prepared and they keep all the other coaches on their toes.
-
Act Quotes
There is broad, bi-partisan support for reauthorization of the County Payments Act as enacted in 2000, including its important environmental safeguards. There are better ways to fund public education for our children than selling off our public forests. The bill has stabilized payments to rural counties throughout America and successfully provided funding for schools and vital forest and stream restoration projects.
-
Alabama Quotes
Since its inception, the Greater Valley Area Crime Stoppers has received tips that have led to many arrests as well as the recovery and seizure of more than $565,000 in drugs and property. The majority of these tips have resulted in felony arrests. All the counties in Alabama should have this tool available to them to help support their law enforcement agencies.

County Quotes
No county has a 2005 deviation greater than its 1988 deviation, a year that was the worst for many counties. However, deviations for some counties in 2005 are large and in the 'second tier' of yield loses. While genetic improvements may have reduced yield losses, large negative yield deviations are still possible.
-
Believe Quotes
If we don't hear from the property owner, we monitor their home to see if something leads us to believe they are violating the ordinance. Then, we go to court and file for a search warrant. We'll look at names on prescriptions or the license plates at the homes, see if they are from several different counties or states, to identify how many people are living in the home.
-
Deal Quotes
If we don't do something this session, we don't have a program set up to deal with this long-term. And the counties are then going to be kind of just sitting there, saying, 'Boy, if this stuff starts ending up in the ditches, what do we do? Who's going to pay for that? So it ends up on property taxes.
-
Chairman Quotes
I currently serve as the chairman of the state's appropriations committee. I work with the state's $40-billion budget. This is a unique opportunity for Ellis and Hill counties to have the chairman of the appropriations committee representing them. I've strived to get a handle on illegal immigration and if re-elected I will find a solution to school funding and lower the property tax.
-
Awareness Quotes
Because Putnam and Volusia counties have manatee viewing as a spring and summertime tourist attraction, the need to be safe is imperative and the boaters are very cognizant of them being in the water. We are not big fans of people swimming with manatees, but manatee viewing is something everyone should do before they die. It is that awesome. People have a heightened awareness of manatees after actually seeing them.
-
Area Quotes
Having a passion for youth, ... I marveled at how TouchDown Productions provided a truly unique opportunity for Nevada and Placer counties to 'showcase' our youth sports and activities. It seemed like an incredibly positive program, and was unique in that I knew of no other community that enable the exposure of its area athletes in such a way.
-
Advanced Quotes
We look forward to supporting Stafford County with the new facility, which is the second of its kind for mid-sized government facilities specifically designed using advanced construction materials and systems to support the public safety mission. Northrop Grumman is one of the leading builders of large public safety operations centers and we are pleased to bring to bear our expertise in systems integration and facility design/build for counties like Stafford and Roanoke in Virginia.

Area Quotes
We made progress today before being hit with the third storm, which knocked power out to more customers. It's been a huge impact. Earlier it was the Bay Area and northern counties that lost power, today it was the central coast in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, and in San Luis Obispo, more than 20,000 are without power.
-
Almost Quotes
Having a geographical dispersion to yield losses is fairly typical. In 2002, for example, 42 counties located primarily in the southern part of Illinois had percent yield losses indicating greater than 20 percent losses. During that same year, 20 counties located primarily in the northern and western part of the state had positive yield deviations. The 2002 distribution is almost a mirror image of the 2005 distribution.
-
Amount Quotes
I think they're pretty well in step with other counties. The state just rolled out its voter education program last week. There really isn't anything they could have done. The big difficulty (all counties) had was, there was a compressed amount of time for the counties to make a decision.
-
Case Quotes
Many courts in other counties would toss this case because of the standard that no reasonable juror could find for the plaintiff in this situation. It's been our experience that many of the courts in the Rio Grande Valley are very, very friendly to plaintiffs' counsel and let cases go forward.
-
Born Quotes
I was born on the 24th of September 1755 in the county of Fauquier, at that time one of the frontier counties of Virginia. My father possessed scarcely any fortune and had received a very limited education - but was a man to whom nature had been bountiful, and who had assiduously improved her gifts.
-
Electrical Quotes
Wind systems are so new we don't have anything in our zoning ordinance that addresses this type of electrical generation. There are counties in Illinois that have wind energy systems. Those are Bureau, Henry, Lee, McLean, and Mercer. McLean County, I believe, is going to be producing the largest wind energy system in the state, if not the Midwest. I think that's somewhere around a $300 million project.
-
Abandoned Quotes
When it comes to major issues on a statewide or national level, the Democrats in these small counties probably feel abandoned by the Democrat Party. These are folks who go to church on Sunday morning and have strong conservative values. The Democrats on the state and federal levels don't relate to that.
-
Attempt Quotes
We do make a large attempt at being self-supporting. We were basically taken by surprise by the cuts. We're trying to stay in business long enough to get funding at the next legislative session. In the past, Morton and Burleigh counties have never had to pay, so we come hat in hand to see if you'll help us get through this awkward time for us.
-
Baptist Quotes
We're already meeting with families utilizing our shelter (in West Jackson Baptist Church) and in the immediate area, getting the preliminary casework needed and pairing their needs to the proper agencies, and we'll be doing that throughout the 11 counties we serve. We'll be in Brownsville Monday, where there are 100 refugees in various locations, and in Selmer Tuesday, where there are 40 more.
