Rick, a lot of people here in Mobile will not be happy if this tanker contract goes away. Their was a surge of joy and excitement when the news came around that we had won the thing and now with it possibly going away, their will be some angry people in my parts. The Press Register will paint this as the city getting screwed by outsiders and will sway people as saying that the Democrats pulled a fast one on Alabama.
Trust me I live in Mobile and already their are some expletives I've heard being named at more then a few Boeing officials and a few Democrats on the Board who overturned the decision.
Whether it's totally valid or not, unfair or fair, if Mobile gets screwed, do not expect the people of this town to take it lightly. Things like this are hard to swallow if you look at it from our perspective
