Grenville Kleiser

Jay Carr

You're cleaning a river. You're putting $200, $300, $400 million into cleaning this river. What a win for the community. We're going to have a clean river. But on the banks, 25 feet in, we have these barrel fields and the only intention is to cap it.

Perry Rogers

I apologize for any ill feelings, ... I definitely had no intention of harvesting bad feelings.

Ricky Fante

But that was not his intention. That (avoiding the tax) never crossed his mind. It was not his practice to do this kind of thing. He had never done it before.

We are going to submit a detailed explanation on what we have done thus far in the case and why we believe we think we have the authority to do so. The Attorney General has every intention of prosecuting this case.

We're not a club that sells and we have no intention of selling Torres for the sake of it.
