Mr. Chairman, particularly if the preliminary census information is verified and we find that there are a larger number of fly-in/fly-out kind of operations who are not paying their taxes and living here, then we really have to reconsider our 1 percent payroll tax and whether it is doing what it was meant to do. I am open to that. Certainly it will be influenced by what we find out on the census information.
