Keep up the good work. And to think that someone initially marked this as a speedy delete. Glad I rescued it. Colby Peterson 03:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

A lot of these dollar figures, percentages, and numbers are without a citation. I know its just a start, but make sure we get those in there at some point, sooner rather than later. Colby 01:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

The dollar amounts are from the Government report cited in the References. I guess I need to create footnotes or something? If you could create a link for me to hidden citations I would appreciate it.--Brian 04:53, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay I'll look into that. Colby 15:26, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
