Good morning. It is Tuesday, March 7th. It is six minutes after 10. His name is Rob Kendall. My

name is Casey Daniels. And boy, are we glad you're here today. So here's a question for you.

What can 126 million dollars buy you in Boone County? More than 1500 acres. That is if you're the

Indiana Economic Development Corporation because that's what they're doing. What is happening in Boone

County is completely gross and we're going to get into some of the reasons. So basically what is

happening is the Indiana Economic Development Corporation is taking your tax money and they are

buying up land in Boone County. We've had the farmers on before. The loves. Yes. Jim and Karen.

Jim and Kim. I'm sorry. Yes. I'm sorry. And they laid out how these farmers, many of them sold

not because they wanted to, but because they were basically strong armed by the state saying,

hey, look, you can fight this. You can either take our premium. We're paying you for this land

or you can fight it and it's not going to end well for you. And many people have felt compelled

to do it. Now some have held out. But think about this case. Your money and my money is going

to create sweet heart real estate deals, which we don't fully know in many cases, the specifics of

for mega corporations from the biggest most richest corporations in the world. You and me and

Kev who are struggling to get by to pay the ever rising gas prices in the state. Thanks to the

ever rising gas tax who are struggling to pay our property taxes. We are funding mega corporations.

Like we are led to believe that Eli Lilly could not orchestrate its own real estate deal.

Really? Yeah. You know, it's a multi billion dollar corporation. Eli Lilly, one of the largest

most powerful corporations in the entire world, couldn't put together its own real estate deal.

No, what's happening is the state of Indiana using the threat of force of government and someone

else's money are cobbling together gigantic purchases of property. And then they're going to carve

and delve it up based on how whole come and his buddy see fit. Our money should not be going for this.
