Re: Local government ordinance hampers Beatty finances.

Although I can't pretend to know all the details in play here, it does seem a little odd that this is is being presented as an "all or nothing" scenario. Surely a company that has such a long history with FRC, and such a close relationship with their team, can find a way to continue to provide some support, even if cuts have to be made. Surely in a turbulent economy, similar challenges have been faced and overcome before.

No matter what happens though, I hope team Hammond finds a way to continue providing the inspiring dominance to FRC as only they can.
