Yes.
As a mayor, I was frustrated. Anyone else who has been a mayor or has lived in municipalities knows this. We have these brown sites all over this country. There are probably thousands of them. You can't force the companies to do anything with them because there are no laws. The municipalities are sitting on these vacant lots throughout the cities, and the companies will not do anything about them because it's cheaper to pay the taxes and leave the lot sitting the way it is.
We have many municipalities, smaller and larger ones around this country, that are screaming for space and for development within their communities and we have these vacant lots. You can probably relate to this, but I checked with our environmental lawyers, and they said we couldn't take those sites over, clean them up ourselves, and make little parks out of them because then we're taking on the liability factor of the old contaminated sites.
This is something that needs to be looked at, because there are thousands and thousands of acres of land in our municipalities across this country that are contaminated sites. The companies would rather pay taxes on them than do anything to reclaim them or help the municipalities.
I'm supportive of a lot of those things.
