Given that they're mostly government owned, I agree. That said, $38m profit on >$1b revenue is very very low margins. Cutting $20m/year in costs will help dramatically. At the end of the day, they're a business, and they're far from the only ones making profit yet still laying off staff. |

| 1260993 | 2012-02-24 00:58:00 | That is only a 1.65% return on operating revenue....not a lot methinks? Ken I thought we put the hospital there to treat sick people? The parking meters and speed cameras are supposed to bring in the income. |

I thought Key was having an Asset Sale, not a Liability Sale. :confused: Frankly, I can’t see Mum & Dad Investors or the Big Corporations opening their wallets very wide on those figures. :lol: |
