Please judge each article written about today's event based upon how much information the reporter had in his or her hot little hand.
I see that they are relying very heavily on quotes from people who are not experts on the situation.
Also, be somewhat skeptical of any report that doesn't mention verbiage from the actual bid documents or contract (proposed).
The story would be less about Hunt and more about the other players if the reporters had, and used, that aforementioned information.

He's trying his best with what he's got. I think he'd be examining the city side of this a little more if he had all the information.
Read the letter sent from Gay Sapp of Hunt. If you don't see that he clearly outlines exactly what some of the problems were, then you are an idiot and I'd like to meet with you and con you out of your life savings before a 5th grader beats me to it.
Of course someone has already commented on Hunt's giving of a campaign donation to Dee Margo like that has anything to do with it.
Sorry but its the lousy economic condition and the lousy mortgage market that killed this deal. Nothing else.
