Finance committee  For sure. I think the challenge we have is that the discussion at the ag committee and the earlier change about wine, all that dealt with personal importations. This starts to get into the world of commercial importation. The discussions there provided an opportunity for the p

Finance committee  I guess, at the end of the day, we do our best with whatever legislation the House passes.

Finance committee  I don't know that we track this. I do know that we have obviously the issue of residency and that has a difference, as you well know, in terms of the actual tax rate you're paying, and so on. I don't know the degree to which our stats shop, which shares a lot of information with
