In one fell swoop, Sovereign and the Legislature significantly impaired the rights of Sovereign's approximately 87,000 shareholders, not to mention the rights of all shareholders of all Pennsylvania-chartered companies. |
In order for us to be close, I have to bring my 'A' game. It's fine. I'm mentally strong, and I've been doing this for years. It's not really something that's tough for me. I just come out and play hard and give effort. |
