It wasn't a question of DelNorth coming up with the money. They can come up with the money but couldn't pay it ALL AT ONCE by the March deadline... Unfortunately, the legislation involved here precludes the money to be paid by a specific date. In another type of business arrangement, the state might have said 1/3 by May 1, 1/3 by September 1 and 1/3 by January 1, but that can't be done. So instead, we get another delay. It's only been since 2001 that the state has been fumbling around with this... What's another 6 months?
