No one is better situated than we are in Indiana to do this.

If the bidders had offered the government a dollar for the Toll Road, it'd be a better deal. So to get $3.85 billion, that's phenomenal from a financial perspective.

Here is what is going to happen with a company going into bankruptcy: They are going to cut any flight that isn't full. Fort Wayne is going to be in the boat of not filling up a flight.

Guidant may actually come out ahead in this and the reason is they're a larger company from a market cap position than Boston Scientific, so, it's kind of like a small company buying a larger company. At the end of the day, they may be the dominant company in this merger.

The problem is you can't build a refinery overnight it takes a couple of years, so what we're probably going to see over the next 18 to 24 months is continued increases in prices.

Unfortunately, the consumer really doesn't have any other choice. You have to pay what's at the pump, and places like Hawaii have decided to go to the legislature and say put a cap on prices. The problem you have there is gas lines. Because companies selling fuel, they'll simply sell it somewhere else and then you'll have a shortage in your jurisdiction.

Boston Scientific needs the workers that are here. They don't have the workers to run this company on their own. J&J was a large company. They could absorb and lay off many of the people if they wanted to.

It shouldn't be a concern short term, but I sure wouldn't plan my spring break around Delta or Northwest right now.

They could have their headquarters here by next week. It might take a while to relocate their staff.

I don't think there is going to be any impact on the consumer, even long term. If Delta goes out of business and Northwest goes out of business, someone is going to pick up those flights. Someone is going to jump in and help those customers.

The malls are old. The malls are dying.

The market insisted that this is the way to go.
