Agreed. And once you develop the right contacts in a business, you can always make money in that business if there is money to be made. So whether or not they lose the Murphy pit (and the court case has been heading in our direction), they have supposedly positioned themselves to continue to make money in this industry.
Can't help but feel like they just threw us a bone to appease the dogs.
