As seen on "The Sopranos"
We see that one of Portland's favorite developer sons is now getting into the action off Exit 13 on the New Jersey Turnpike. The state penitentiary is only one exit away.

Should be fun installing solar panels in February, assuming the foot of snow on the ground has not melted or been enhanced by the projected start date. Wonder what energy credits the state gives away as well.

The article says Gerding Edlen is "the nation’s leading expert in creating a future in green buildings" So it is a surprise they are hired? You imply the NJ State Pen is next? Is there some impropriety you wish to expose? We need to congratulate the success of this homegrown private sector company. But I guess there's no snark factor there.

There is so much one can say about how G/E has ripped off the city of
Portland over the years. The Pearl District Theater comes to my mind rIght away. By property for pennines on the dollar from the PDC. Then sell it back at a profit and do the work to remodel said property for millions more.
Nice work if you can get it!
No snark...just the facts. So one becomes sceptical over time.

Bojack has become the land of the sharp knives.
Some people have been around the PDX block for many years, for me going on 50 years. We actually get to see things, and question accordingly.
Sarcasm is a powerful tool in remonstrance.

I was wondering about that Jack. Good snag/snark.
Idiots.

Something to onset carefully when thinking of these sorts of characters.
