this open docket for the BTLA was some sort of mysterious thing. It’s hard to believe that the BTLA, the
DRA and others would be looking into this seriously if they didn’t have some credible evidence. And | think
anyone that is willing to open their eyes knows that there has been a lot of credible evidence. | think most
of you here on the Board have probably received some.

Manchester in 2006;p maybe we can achieve the same 60% that they did. But this idea that we should
defy the regulators, that we should fight, that we should obstruct the effort of the State to find out what is
the situation with the rational that we are only going to get a 5% or 10% entry rate is a foolish way to
proceed, in my opinion.
