Ed, if you were representing Chase and/or the developers I'm certain it was much more favorable to developers than the current rate payers at the time.

I'd like to see OPA hire you (or someone as good as you) if/when some "deal" is under negotiation. Historically OPA boards have not understood negotiation. I remember OPA president Bill Long on the issue of River Run getting water or sewer from the OPA service area wasn't concerned at all about any money involved, or the very real value to the developer in terms of dollars. He supported the idea on the simple, non-business approach that, "OPA should be a good neighbor." No consideration at all for any possible financial impact on rate payers in OP at the time.

Of course back then any number of folks were being entertained up on Long Island.

I suspect we would be receiving more income from the Seacrets lease had you been the negotiator.
