Will the city be denying or offering those same tax credits to the Laidlaw project. Legally every tax credit offered to Clean Power is now available to Laidlaw. Can you really treat companys you like different than the companys you dont like if they both are working within the laws and zoning? No.

But we live in an inversion area? No Laidlaw. Clean Power is building within the same inversion area. How many trucks a day will go by the Gorham common? Go Laidlaw....

One problem with your theory Johnahon is Clean Power was first on the sceen. Clean Power is presently about 10 months ahead of Laidlaw in the permiting process and is ahead of Laidlaw on the "Queue". Secondly, Laidlaw has had months to open a dialog with Berlin but have chosen not to, leaving the field open to Clean Power. If anything this problem is due to mistakes made by Laidlaw management. Laidlaw's problem is their project is contingent on Clean Power "going away" not the other way around.

As far as "tax incentives" go - you're telling me that Laidlaw will not be taking advantage of any tax breaks that are available? Don't you think stockholders would consider this another mistake by management?
