1. "We need to exercise our ownership rights." We do own 80%.

2. And we need to demand that regulatory changes get on the table
quickly.

3. I REALLY don't like the footdragging on the regulatory changes.
Frankly, I don't think this thing is being handled with the people' interest at the forefront. Not at all.

4. I don't like the schtick about needing to figure out what went wrong
so they can "fix" it. Set up a new system of regulations that demands basic good accounting practices, eliminates derivatives and the like, and makes transparency mandatory. Period.

5. Oh, indeed. Sounds like "setting up a blue-ribbon panel" to do absolutely nothing.
