6 Quotes by Scott Bias

I wish the Legislature would give us the latitude to take these raises at a later date or take a smaller amount. It really puts the monkey on our backs. If we don't take the raise, we run the risk of not receiving another one for four or five years. But if we take them, there's always going to be this perception from the public that we're stuffing our pockets full of money when we have bills to pay.

I don't believe we can bury our heads in the sand and expect these issues to go away by themselves.

I think we are making progress toward getting better jobs and employment here. It's a real fight to land a good company that has good paying jobs.

At the time we were approached with the idea, gasoline prices were still going up, and there was no bus service that could transport the individuals to their certain destination. Now that it's in effect, hopefully, people will support it and make it easier for going to places like the mall and Wal-Mart.

It was fine at first, when it was first proposed, but we simply can't afford that bill because it's not in our budget. We can't continue to let the debt pile up but just figure out how to pay some of it back in a fashionable way.

I am naturally concerned. There is just not a lot of high paying jobs back here.
