Well, not wishing to be argumentative, but I was in a large multistate consulting firm that specifically dealt with the problems of negotiating with and handling multijurisdiction issues such as this on behalf of private entites and you are simply wrong about what is, and what properly should be, amongst the issues management needs to correctly plan for.

Simple as that.

Been there. Did this for a living. Wrote company wide programs and implemented standard policies for implementing just this kind of thing for any combination of jurisdictions.

Basic to this issue is the representation that is simply accepted as fact that, because NY state is the second hardest state to get approval in, it simplifies things for the DEC to have granted what they have.

OK. So getting approvals in NY is big. How does that translate to Florida? How exactly is it going to be accomplished? Accomplished with the least amount of cost and the greatest efficiency? What's the plan?

If I sat in an office in NF and my job was to get the machines I had approvals for in NY set up in Florida, I'd be negligent if I agreed with you that the questions I'm asking are beyond the scope of management.

And as regards the specifics of what I'm asking, I'm really only interested, at this point, in the pragmatic issue of how the approval in NY gets applied to the machines in Florida. Not every state conceivable. Florida. 1 state at this point. Will the approvals simply transfer (which I think highly unlikely) or will certain matters, as yet unspecified, have to be revisited when the setup in Florida has progressed to the point that approvals are needed down there? Can the manner in which a machine is assembled and/or shipped be structured so that the Florida machines face the fewest possible number of issues? What is the plan?

As a concrete reality, everything involved in doing the job of getting machines, approved in NY, set up and running in Florida, involves coming up with an efficient system for doing so.

I will ask managemnt to tell the shareholders what their plan is. I'm dumbfounded by the very idea that asking for such a thing is beyond what is reasonable to expect of management. Apart from incompetence, there is no reason on the face of the earth why any management team would toe the starting line of getting the machines up an running in Florida with a plan they can not even describe.

I want to know what their plan is and I will not even countenance, much less view as legitimate, even the slightest argument that asking this of them is beyond what is reasonable.

It is the very essence of getting the job done. And like I said, this kind of consulting was my business for 9 years.

Been there, Done that.

Got the T-shirt.

Reality check: expecting this kind of planning and efficient execution is the job itself. I think they owe it to themselves, and to shareholders, to do this the right way, and doing it the right way is both do-able and knowable.

Period.
