He was chairing the hearing.
But, and he, to his, you know, in his defense, he may not have been looking very closely at this.
The chairman of the committee might not have read the legislation.
Okay.
Well, he does have to farm out some of this stuff.
I drafted an amendment in real time.
You try to think of creative ways that would brain damage the cronyism of,
That they're trying to achieve.
And I thought, you know, they probably want to build these data centers in farms and farmland.
And so I drafted an amendment that said, okay, if this bill passes, excluded is any data center built in farmland.
which if I had gotten that successfully passed, right, which I think would have been a popular amendment and I probably could have got enough votes for it.
And then once it's in there, the data center guys are like, screw it, we don't even want this now.
We were gonna build these into all the farms.
That's what was the whole purpose of the bill, to screw up the environment on the farmland, right?
You just screwed the whole bill.
This is so dark.

He had the good sense to pull the bill before we got to it.
So it got pulled from the hearing.
But I don't know that it would have happened if I hadn't got in there and started blowing the whistle.
