You cannot continue on, i volunteer to see everything thatvy been involved before you all were involved with the jefferson put together what they called the mass lease and you are all spreading millions of dollars from there to now, there are obligations that you all owe us, and the community. And if not the community, sure enough on me. You know what this calls sweat equity and i have been doing this for 20something years.
