:28:03
With a planned community,
you knowwhatyou're getting.
:28:07
People own their houses,
they own shares in the amenities...
:28:10
but the corporation
calls the shots.
:28:13
This whole section here
will be assisted living.
:28:15
The lake is a nice attraction.
:28:17
The lake is the key.
:28:19
Halfthese people,
they don't fish, they don't boat...
:28:21
they can't climb a flight ofstairs,
much less a mountain...
:28:24
but knowing it's there
just around the bend-
:28:27
- Live in the Rockies.
- We're selling a dream.
:28:30
Now, of course,
a few regulations need to be-
:28:33
The Development Association
would be happy-
:28:35
Which I pay into.
:28:36
The association has to concentrate
on some general legislation right now.
:28:40
Any individual cases would be-
:28:42
- You talk to Chuck Raven.
- On a daily basis, yeah.
:28:46
After all, he's the brains
behind our future governor.
:28:48
You need examples,
specific instances...
:28:51
foryour general
legislation, right?.
:28:54
Silver Citywould be
a perfect model.
:28:56
That wouldn't be fair to
the other members ofthe association.
:28:59
Showing favoritism would
compromise my position.
:29:01
But ifyou were to retain my services...
:29:05
as a lobbyist on an individual case...
:29:07
there's no reason I couldn't honestly
serve both clients equally...
:29:11
during my talks with
the future governor and his staff.
:29:14
Retaining.
:29:15
So much of my cash is tied up with
the acquisition ofthe land.
:29:19
I could probablywork
on a commission basis.
:29:22
You mean, like,
a piece ofthe action?.
:29:26
Mort, the regulatory legislation
that the governor is going to bat for?.
:29:30
I'm writing it.
:29:33
What, doyou think the association
pays me to suck up to these people?.
:29:37
We're only that far from qualifying for
an economic initiative subsidy.
:29:41
Timberline County
is on the ropes.
:29:43
And ifthe State was to relax
the soil standards just a fraction-
:29:48
There's no reason we couldn't...
:29:49
raise the river and lower the bridge
at the same time.
:29:55
How big a piece ofthe action
would this be?.
