It is amazing how dumbfounded and uninformed the committee members usually are. It is always clear that all that many of them do is show up. There rarely is any depth of understanding, unless it relates to political posturing. Despite all that, it makes my blood boil to hear that someone thanked them for their transparency. None of what was revealed surprised me, but I was not aware of any of it except the use of Mall investor money - mainly because I paid a lot of attention to the financing of Conseco (The Birdhouse) Fieldhouse.Citizen Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083803017411939029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1062022979613842812009-03-04T18:43:00.000-05:002009-03-04T18:43:00.000-05:00WOW.
