I believe with all my heart that he is wrong. |
I know the governor likes to move quickly. But we like to move correctly. |
I think it's really important that everyone has access to the health system. |
If we change our mind, if we change governors, if we change legislatures, we're stuck for 75 years which makes it important that we take our time and make a thoughtful decision here. There's been no individual analysis of this deal. |
It's twice the usual profit from an investment of this type and if they will make that much money, my question is: how much did the governor leave on the table? |
My great, great grandchildren will still be living under this contract. |
That means they would have paid more, they should have paid more for the Indiana Toll Road. |
The bottom line is this: If we were investors in Macquarie stock, we would love this deal -- where can we buy it? But we're not. We are elected officials who are more concerned about protecting the people of this state than rushing into a very risky deal without all the facts. |
This is not really a debate about being innovative. We all know we need to be creative. This is not really a debate about infrastructure. We all know we need to improve our infrastructure. This is about the business deal on the table. Is this the right program at the right price? |
We are 48 hours away from locking Indiana into a 75-year contract. My message to the governor is: I hope you know what you're doing. |
We took just 117 days to conduct a complex financial process that typically takes nine months. |
