Free publicity for Paul at Ultimate Wireforms and his controversial helicopter flights.

Paul does alot for this community. I sense a little jealousy in his self-built success.

Thanks for the view Paul!

Yes, free publicity that does not and will not benefit Paul or Ultimate Companies in ay way since he has no customers in Bristol.

Can't anyone contribute to the public good witout some whiner chiming in?

Get a life.

Check the picture.

Is it of Route 72, or of the SEBBP?

"Paul does alot"

-Yeah, except provide health insurance to his employees.

-Way to keep that robber baron stigma alive!

"Yes, free publicity that does not and will not benefit Paul"

-You are a total fool. Of course it does. Case in point: his silly helicopter pad.

But I have to admit it is an interesting picture.

Wrong. He does provide a health insurance plan to his employees partially paid by the company and reasonable co-pay by the employee. The only company you will find that doesn't make their employees pay a co-pay is the City.

Are you a disgruntled former employee? He and his wife are better to their employees than the majority of small companies in the area. I should know. I worked for him for a long time.

I was told they did not provide any health insurance by an employee there. Thank you for clearing this issue up. Because of this person's situation it is probably that this person did not understand or perhaps they did provide the coverage at the time this person was there.

I've met his wife. She seems really nice and she's kind of hot too. Again, I'm glad to hear that they do provide health insurance.

Just think, now you'll have a thousand speeding cars to watch...they may even crash into each other once in a while.

They'll definately cut through my neighborhood now as well because the Boulevard will be a traffic jam. I hope they don't run over any kids!
