This is the second attempt. He does not say "who" it is, but I believe it is likely a usual suspect who has played a role in BMA and the mountain for over 30 years.

~$20M assessment by the town. Don’t feel like they’ll get that much.

Tax assessments are generally low. I wonder if this included the hotel. That cost $50 mill to build (supposedly).

Yeah, it’s been reported that this is one group consisting of BMA families, some of whom have a history with the mountain. I’d be surprised if any of the other major players jump but we’ll see.

The mountain would be better off being at arm's length from BMA.

I get that, but the reality is that since the late 1990's it has been BMA and one of its major benefactors who have kept the mountain alive. For better or worse, you can't have one without the other.

BMA is the only reason Burke continues to exist.

They're like the Hell's Angels. They fight well when they have time to plan. The trick is to **** them up out of the blue. It's a hobby. Heavy sport if you will.

Hey, we let them bred in New Hampshire as well. Who shut off Darwin's theory? Regression toward the mean is alive and well.
