ARE GOV FLETCH ET Al. BAILING OUT A GERMAN COMPANY? by
Chris Tobe

My question is the city/state bailing out Eon (a German company) of
hundreds of millions of environmental liabilities by building the
stadium? Has Eon promised to take on any yet undiscovered
environmental liabilities if the stadium is built there? If not this
project could be even more millions more expensive than thought.


This morning I heard related to the Port scandal that legislation was
introduced forbidding any foreign company from owning and controlling
public infrastructure. This includes utilities. Specifically this
means EON's ownership of LG&E.

1. That would be great for our fight with RWE over

ownership of Lexington's water company. They are selling it, but refuse to sell to us.

forgot to say, even though barring foreign companies from owning utilities would help in our fight with RWE, I don't know what the repercussions would be nationwide.

2. Ya know, the push to sell that site off Main Street for the UofL arena

has seemed awfully pushy. I was thinking the other day that it was probably some way for LG&E (Eon) to make some money and eliminate that site of theirs.

And Pitino reportedly saying he wouldn't coach if the arena were built on the Water Company property?


Something stinks...badly.
