I agree 100%. My only hope -- certainly a pipe dream -- is that continuing this present "Eola-no-matter-what" course is Metzger's way of getting BB to lower its price. That would be one of the ballsiest moves ever... That's completely ridiculous, but wouldn't it be cool if it were true and it worked? I think if we were trying to get Mr Helm to blink in a giant game of chicken - we should know by now that would never happen. I believe more along the lines we are trying to 'show them' they can't push us around. We have an alternative -- it's not a good one, but that doesn't seem to matter at all. |

The underlying problem we have with this transaction is that we have both a buyer and a seller who have the perception of motivation to overlook any 'bad things'. The district needs a school. It's already been established that our Administration will understate hazards at the site and flat out lie about them per the Jan 22 SB meeting to get a site to start building a school. That is a problem. MWGEN has a piece of land with some future enviro liability attached to it (their words per their SEC filings in the past and worried about future tightening enviro regulations). They certainly don't want a microscope up their backside on this subject. That's a problem too. I agree 100%. My only hope -- certainly a pipe dream -- is that continuing this present "Eola-no-matter-what" course is Metzger's way of getting BB to lower its price. That would be one of the ballsiest moves ever... Part of me holds out hope that he can be that clever. |

If that were true then NSFOC would be a wrench in MM's plan.

That would be one of the ballsiest moves ever... Part of me holds out hope that he can be that clever.  I always thought there was a plan - and a backup plan - and a strategy for the past 2 years. Then I found out - no strategy, no backup plan - WYSIWYG. I feel that way now. Plowing ahead with head down and fingers crossed. "Hope everything turns out like we hope." |

If that were true then NSFOC would be a wrench in MM's plan. If that were true, a bad phase II environmental report and a company that doesn't want to be held responsible for handing over a clean site would be even more of a wrench in his plan. If he wanted to negotiate - it would have been better to do it before all of this questionable stuff started coming in. |

Yes, then if it comes back unacceptable, we could hand over $20 million damages to BB, plus the cost of the Eola site AND still not third high school. Or we could just build a giant brick wall around the contamination with electric barbed wire to ensure that the kids don't go to "that" area. They could have science labs in the walled off area. Talk about hands on experience! again, would anyone here build their home next to 'that area' ? Why would we build a school there ? This isn't hard... Remember there is a house right on the same land the school will be built on. People lived in that house from before there was a power plant in their backyard until the property was sold to developers. And they had well water! ETA: So somebody did. |

That was their choice to live there. Doesn't mean a darn thing. Not a place to put a school.
