Now
Now. NOW, the deadbeat state gummint people, including the legislators and the right honorable guv/McCain veep wannabe himself are starting to get nervous about what's going on with this merger deal going down between Northworst and Delta and the major hemorrhage of well paying jobs it will entail. Don't even mention all the sweetheart loans, terminal rental fees and percentages of terminal shop and restaurant rental income the airline has received over the past several years. All of this, I might add, on top of the loss of the Ford plant in St. Paul, and the loss of the Macy's divisional headquarters in Mpls.
A bit late for them to getting off their dead butts in my opinion. That nag got out of the barn way back on August 19. 2006, when the NWA executives started going through the maintenance department with a bloody meat cleaver, and essentially fired thousands of trained, seasoned, and experienced mechanics, and the state idiots sat around and did absolutely nothing.
Not a damn thing. They just let those people rot on the picket line. (The pilots and Flight Attendants didn't help by crossing the picket line. If they'd honored that line, the NWA brass would have folded like a jackknife.)
And, because there hasn't been a mega-merger yet that shrub's administrations hasn't anointed, can you guess what they're going to be able to do now?
Yep, not a damn thing.
“If it ain't broke, don't fix it' is the slogan of the complacent, the arrogant or the scared. It's an excuse for inaction, a call to non-arms.”

It was a favorite tactic of politicians in Michigan, that when a plant closed, company left town, etc. to be mum about the whole thing until after the actual event, and people had calmed down a little. Then, all of a sudden, you'd hear this tremendous roar from Lansing (our capital) demanding explanations, hearings, blah blah.
