Gut feeling
I have two gut instincts here:
1) Cline is working feverishly providing whatever info and revisions anyone is asking for, even picking up the phone and screaming at a few pencil necked bureaucrats who get to feel important by holding up a muti million dollar project. That's where a guy like Bill McKnight comes in handy, he must have some connections to Colorado politicians. Wouldn't it be nice if some state congressman was into this in a big way.
2) I've dealt with the government enough to know that sometimes it defies all logic. That is where my only uneasiness comes from.
I'm still thinking #1 outweighs #2 here.
