In no way does this jeopardize the project going forward.

Everything was done legally, aboveboard and properly to get this project moving forward. No one's being bought here. This is about good government.

If I was going to get it, I was going get it. If not, I wasn't going to jeopardize the game to do it. I don't think people are going to remember me as the leading scorer at my school, I don't think that's going to define my career really. Being a team player ... that means a lot to me.

That's where the up-and-down ramp is going to be. No matter what, for this project, it has to go away. We very much regret it has to go.

Don't look back. Keep pushing forward.

The project is over now; they had no choice. It's been dragging on for a long time and this project has gone through various phases of controversies and arguments.
