I am wondering why the company would find it neccessary to announce here what is otherwise such a mundane happening, unless it is perhaps something that was in the way of important other news?

And, why is this left to Jay Crawford to put up here?  Have we seen him post here before?  [This is not meant to add or take anything from Jay.  I've met him a few times, respect his work, and heard only good things about him.]

Also, is it not disturbing that the State of Arizona would take up to 5 months to finalize a renewal on a MEP?  How much slower would they be if they were busy?  Just what are they doing with my tax money? 

These are not questions for the company, of course, just a few more things to ponder as we await further developments.
