Welcome aboard BG. Although the same article was posted yesterday, it is nice to see that some others are also monitoring the press. A lot of people have posted newspaper articles over the years and it is encouraging to see. A couple of years ago a reporter for the Tampa Bay Tribune, Gady Epstein, was covering the CCO story. He is no longer there, but he was basically on the side of the environmentalists and the State. I think He thought CCO was a collection of kooks and we only wanted to greenmail the State. I believe that the OGJ article will go a long way towards lending credibility to the notion that CCO actually wants to drill. I sent the article to the Tampa Tribune and I hope they run with it. People of Florida might be surprised that the late Governor Chiles and the Democrats may have put the State at risk for a legal liability of tens of billions of dollars or more. If the news media signs on to the idea that there actually might be oil there and if they acknowledge that CCO has a legitimate claim, the State and CCO can get down to some serious discussions.
