Arts Quotes
I don't even like chocolate, but my eye was casting over the possibilities. I am always interested in things that have a bigger social purpose than just being commercial. If I had my way, everything we sold would have a social mission. As a nonprofit, we're not in the business of creating individual personal wealth but of building social capital. That's part of our mission. I've watched funding for arts education go down in the last 20 years. Anything we can do for integrated arts education is great - for all ages, not just kids.

Buying Quotes
Ideally ... we think that a further step here would be to phase out capital gains if investor are holding for a longer period. For instance, if you were to hold stocks, let's say, for five years, I would like to see the rate lower than 20 percent, and maybe if you hold 10 years, there might be no capital gains rate at all. That will return the public markets to being about buying and holding and funding businesses, which was their purpose, not throwing paper around in a speculative manner.

Arena Quotes
We look forward to working closely with the Penguins as well as state and local officials as we move through the application process. Redevelopment of the Lower Hill and Uptown Districts will return the neighborhood to the community, and funding a new multi-purpose arena will keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh, making this project a win/win for the entire community. At the Isle, we believe that downtown Pittsburgh will become the best entertainment venue in the region.
