There is, of course, nothing inherently wrong with a wealthy individual's takeover you will not hear many complaints from Chelsea or Manchester City fans, for example but the question becomes a more vexed one when those individuals, as in the cases of Portsmouth, Malaga and Manchester United, have financial goals that are at variance with the club's best interests..One of the most important infrastructure projects in Vermont is the upgrade of the western rail corridor from Rutland through Middlebury to Burlington.
