Originally, less than a handful of people had a problem with us doing what we're going to be doing. Now it's pretty much the whole community.

Nothing has changed in the ash. The Health Department wants to change the standards. We've never done nothing illegal here and we're not going to.

I've been working on it a long time, but there's just too much opposition in the community.

A worst-case evacuation tells us 487,000 people in Hillsborough County alone would have to seek shelter. Out of Pinellas County, 550,000 people. Between the two counties ... we'd put a million people on the road. Those pictures we saw of New Orleans, we're looking at Tampa.

I want people to come into the office and tell us when they think something is wrong or ask questions.

This is going to take some time. And all we're asking is that people give us just a few days to get this thing up and running in the way that we want to see it run.
