Then If the price goes from there from 200 to $300, the freight cost will go from 53 to $61 a ton. And nothing's changed. Nothing's changed. It's all up to us. It's all up to all of us on this committee. It's all up to us as legislators to do something, because these people are really hurting. (05:17–05:27)
