Yet another liberal advocacy article disguised as "news". These "news" reporters don't even know what will be in the legislation as it has not passed the Senate yet. They are speculating based on what passed in the House.  Also, there has always been a disparity between rural and urban dwellers in just about every facet of economic activity, but that's the trade-off for living in rural areas. Rural dwellers don't have to put up with noise, pollution, crime etc... and typically live in beautiful, isolated areas. It's a trade-off they're willing to make.
