Always the fence sitter...
or as my friend the Sheriff was fond of saying and "now the representative from Switzerland is heard from"..but playing Devil's advocate for a minute.The Bus Initiative from Financing to Site Selection ( which is where I think Flaum is on Board for the Army Depot location possibly) to Sourcing parts Labor, etc etc..would be very lengthy,drawn out, very detailed exercise - not the testing proving part- but the installation of a State Wide Fleet..( Years IMO..) This certainly didn't jibe with JG's "I'm 65 years old- been working my can off for the past 10 years for no pay.."for the right offer It's GONE" I personally think they have packaged the venture to the Pols as "Here is a fantastic idea for job creation, upgrade improve State bus Fleets etc It'a a win win for Upstate New York all the way around..but we aren't gonna be doing it with our money stock etc...."
It's all teed up- you guys ( Reynolds Robach etc) can run with this thing.."".. The kinda numbers on a contract like that could generate for a OSK and or ETN..( the initial 350 Million dollar figure..)would certainly think, in my mind, get some people to the table " with a vengeance" I think was quoted...Bottom line I think the company will be sold by 6-1-07..I certainly hope so anyway......Leitrim
