um, a lot of jurisdictions have a criteria for "qualified" bidders. This is not my area of specialty though, and I don't know squat about a rink in Central park ;) I do think that the whole contracting process is open to question, given Halliburton. Actually. I just posted this because it's another arrest in the Abrahamoff scandal. I feel strongly about this one because I actually was working with the Alabama-Coushatta on economic development when their council decided that the law was giong to be changed to allow their casino. It's hard to argue with this -- casinos are a proven route to big revenues. However it turns out that Abrahamoff and Co were just out to extract money. That's the fraud case I referred to a couple of days ago. It was despicable. That whole area is desperately poor. No, I am nowhere near objective on this one,
