Morris and Highland Clerk-Treasurer Michael Griffin wanted to know why competing Toll Road bids had not been made public.

Gustin said it would not serve anyone's interest to see the bids until a contract is signed.

"Why is that?" Morris said. "This is what we do all the time in the bidding process."

I wonder if the UAE had a bid in?

This and the UAE action are what can be expected when we have a huge balance of payments problem. Those dollars have to come back here somehow to maximize value to the holders; so it's a decision for them between US Treasury Bonds, the Stock Market or Direct Investment.

Valparaiso Mayor Jon Costas, a key supporter of Toll Road privatization, asked for a special NIRPC meeting to reconsider a commission resolution from two weeks ago.

Wasn't it Valparaiso that had someone's house assessed at 400 million last week. Now they have buget shortfalls because while they corrected the assessment they forgot to remove the taxes from their budget?

If so then it's no wonder the Mayor is a supporter of this - he has no clue!
