Negotiations 3

I agree again that the negotiations between MassPort and the City of Worcester should not be conducted in public. At the same time how strong of a bargaining position are we in when:

1. MassPort now knows we have a 21,000, 000 dollar deficit
2. ORH now costs the tax-payers 150,000 per month
   
3. Only three months left in the current operating agreement and the cost increases to 225-250K per month
   
4. We are not talking to anyone else except MassPort

In retrospect we maybe should have been having these discussions to let MassPort take over, and end the current operating agreement prematurely, when we had Allegiant here.
