that you're only as good in business as your last response to an attack. You always have to be one step ahead of the bad guys.
came completed four program three together took weeks
I think they had about 1,200 inquiries into the program and they had 225 completed applications. It took three to four weeks to complete the application to get in. Everything came together pretty quickly.

I'm sick of us having to be perfect to get the job.
larger prepare

adds desire generally hate increase justify limits raise taxes though
That's up to them and their taxpayers. Even though we know limits may be coming, I would hate to have to justify an increase like that. Generally this part of the state's a little more conservative than that. If many do raise taxes like that, it just adds to the Legislature's desire to place limits.

The only thing that has been approved so far is the subdivision of the land.

building costs dip early hate limits money reserves spend
If we have costs that we have to spend money on, then we have to dip into our reserves. In the early '90s, our reserves dipped down really low, and we're just now building them back up again. I'd hate to see real restrictive levy limits when we need to spend money. That's why any construction project, or anything like that, would have to be put on hold.
couple game hard innings keeps last leo mind next sat sit talk whoever
I'd like to sit and talk to him between innings when I'm pitching. It keeps my mind off the game a little. Most of the time, I like to talk not about the game, but something else. The last couple years it was a little hard because Leo wasn't like that. He's really into the game. So I'd talk to whoever sat next to me. We'd talk about anything.
change
I did what I thought was right. I wouldn't change what I did and I'd do it again.

Certainly if the Bush budget proposal is accepted, a lot of people will suffer. We feel very strongly that there needs to be a national system.
