I also would be happy to share with you and any Bristol citizen/taxpayer our presentation to the 3 rating agencies last February, issues important to rating agencies at the time, and their market report to Wall Street about Bristol and its management, and finances.<br /><br />As a matter of personal professional policy, I don't respond with financial city information to any blind "Anonymous said" in blogs. So don't bother asking or soliciting further responses from me on a blog. Maybe once a year, like a year or so ago, I'll respond in the same manner while waiting for my evening coffee to brew.<br /><br />This response is on my own time.<br /><br />So, with that said, if you show up in person for answers to your inquiry during the business day, I will do my best to answer your questions face to face with respect to you for doing so.
