From Whom Comes the Idea, Should Not Go the Profit

Wish we could go around, tapping on the shoulder each person who has suggested the prison should be moved, and say, "Fred, when it comes time to use this land, you can't be involved in anything, not in the selling of it, not in the buying of it, and not making any money from bringing any industry to it."

I don't know who all so far has suggested and lobbied for the move, other than maybe Greg Hughes, who has been a UTA lobbyist. If he, indeed, was one who approached the state to make the move (as opposed to simply liking the move but not being an initiator of it) then I'd tap him on the shoulder, and say, "Greg, no UTA yard, here. We won't be able to use this land for the UTA. I don't know whether it would be a great UTA location, anyway, but, just in case you might think of it, nix the idea right now."

'Cause we don't like the idea of special interests running our show. We just don't like it that someone might suggest how wonderful it would be for the state to make a profit moving the land, when all along it was they themselves who sought to make some money.

From whom comes the idea, should not go the profit.
