Obtaining the right directors in Russia took us some time and due diligence, but it has paid off since opening in June 2005.

Most of us right now are in the process of ... due diligence, ... What do we know about this candidate? What can we know to make an informed decision?

I think we are peaking at the right time. We are a very good volleyball team and I am excited about the capability of winning the regional.

When the meals tax was sold to us, I spoke out against it because they hadn't done their due diligence, they didn't do their homework, they didn't raise the money. What Wilder did [Monday] night is he expressed a method and a methodology for Richmond to raise the money to create real change.

This is really big. I can't imagine what's going on in Russia right now.

Right now, I know everything and I am happy I am Russian. And I am happy to be from Russia.
