Owners Quotations | Page 4

My opinion is just a sidebar in this certainly controversial time. We are talking about owners and players coming to an agreement. It will take time. It's frustrating for fans and everyone.

My owners are screaming as although they are not huge gamblers, this is their only horse and they've gone out there and had a bet.

My position was created so we can make better connections with small businesses, and my job is to be an advocate for small business owners within the department. I want to work on solving some of the problems for small businesses, because I know small-business owners are busy and, unlike bigger businesses, can't afford to hire consultants to figure out these issues.

I won't come down. The players know that. Only the owners can make a proposal.

I think smart business owners can compete and do better when Home Depot is here.

I think most of the homes will be rebuilt. I hope most are virtually the same. I have talked with a lot of business owners and home owners and they have expressed to me their desire to return.

It depends on what players are offered. The owners have a say in this, too. They want to do the right thing. If we get a good offer, we'll probably take the player. If we don't get good offers, we'll probably take the (draft) choice and do more scouting this winter and prepare for the draft. I think we'll get a good player out of this.

I think it would be good for the sport. Three cars is a good number. I told (former NASCAR president) Bill France many, many years ago that one of our biggest concerns is when a group of car owners has five teams, six teams, all of a sudden you only have five or six car owners.

I think this trend is good for everybody. It's very difficult for motel owners to keep their properties, but it would be detrimental to our tourism industry if we build only condos and lose our rental units.

Most of the real estate prices are so expensive and they do not match their real value. The owners of these companies misunderstand that Egyptian expatriates, who work in UAE, have a lot of money to buy these properties.

Most of the productivity online is coming from SMB owners using information technology through which they're gaining utilities that previously would have taken generations to capitalize on.

Theater owners have to manage their holdings ... and recognize that the world is changing rapidly in terms of the way people are consuming media. There's a way for them to continue to be an essential part of the mix, but they do risk being made irrelevant if they don't change their ways.

Theater owners are scrambling to get the Best Picture nominees or the big stars. If your film only gets a supporting actor or actress nomination, you can get squeezed out.

Theater owners are exerting a lot of power over the studios to withhold access to content that people want to see. That's bad for consumers, that's bad for studios, and ultimately, I think it will be bad for theaters.

That supply will far exceed demand, meaning owners will find it increasingly hard to rent out their properties and repay their debts.

I would like to thank the dog owners for having the confidence in me and for allowing me to race their dogs. There's no way I deserve all the credit.

My clients since the smoking ban went into effect on September 1, many of them are losing up to half of their income, and this is not only bar owners but also bartenders, people who rely on this for their livelihood.

My best guess is they won't strike. They know they'll hurt the game and themselves too much if they strike. I don't think they'll tip their hand right now - I'm sure they'll make it sound like they're willing to strike. But my best guess is players will fight the owners with litigation.

Most of the people returning are business owners and salaried workers. Most of the hourly people are finding work in other cities.

Most independent owners have to pay on delivery for their fuel and can't raise their price till after that delivery comes in. A tanker load of gas is running $30,000 right now and that's tough for anyone to swallow.

Most hockey teams can stay out almost indefinitely because they lose less money by not playing than by playing. That's not true for baseball. I think the majority of owners know that the value for them is keeping the gates open.

Most Georgians benefit from electric reliability and rates that are better than the national average. We are able to keep up with population and per capita energy use because thousands of property owners and community leaders work with us to build these lines. This teamwork is one of the state's untold success stories.

Most business owners think about it every day, based on the competitiveness of the market. It's just part of being a savvy business owner.

Will the new owners change the name of the team, redesign the uniforms and all related paraphernalia?

We encourage the city to enforce these laws and for the property owners to call the city when there are violations.

We'd want the buildings there to be in the Victorian style and perhaps have the business owners living above their shops.

We really need to create an ordinance that will compliment our township aesthetics, but that also will let business owners get the word out about their specials. And we want to hear from everyone - residents, business owners - on how they think we can do that.

We had guests and hotel owners asking us about offering a gift card. We're excited that now we can respond to that customer demand.

We had a meeting with the lot owners last Wednesday. We are all getting on the same page.

We have a lot of happy store owners in town.

We've got some owners of buildings here who are not willing to put money into them. That's the biggest problem I see right now.

We've learned from the police that starting Monday at 8 a.m., New Orleans gun owners can get their firearms back.

We have caseworkers down there, and most people have already received rental assistance. I just gave approval to purchase 10,000 more travel trailers. We're working also with some of the apartment owners to rehab some of the apartments down there. We are going to make sure that people are taken care of. But the judge recognized that, and recognized that the right thing to do is to get them out of hotels and into some decent housing.

Virtually every new development and even existing project owners are looking at a residential component.

Vacancy rates have gone down a bit, but owners are still behind the power curve. To attract residents and bring vacancy rates down, apartment owners had to offer incentives or discounts, despite their costs increasing.

We know that the people who took time to obtain the licenses are owners who take their dogs to obedience training and keep them in control.

Typically, 'good-faith negotiations' do not portray the buyer holding a gun to the seller's head. These negotiations have been tinged with bad-faith since April, when the City told property owners they had to be out of their homes by New Year's Eve. Mr. Green can pretend he's dealing in good faith, but he's really playing with a corked bat.

Today, they spend far more money plastering convenience stores with their imagery, paying convenience store owners to put cigarettes near where kids will see them.

Today, shop owners and their employees are constantly challenged to succeed in an ever-changing business environment and to stay current with the advancements of automotive technology. The delivery of management education and technical training through the KEYS program will afford automotive professionals more opportunities to further their education. KEYS will offer automotive professionals solutions to the many challenges they face each day.

We get complaints from people that certain properties are not being kept up. We look into it, and once we find the owners we send them a notice asking to pick up their garbage, debris and brush and their alley ways and ask them to place any garbage in its designated area.

We are now the proud new owners of this property.

We need to be able to communicate to our members and gun owners in any given state and to suggest that we can't do that for risk of being thrown in jail is simply outrageous.

We'll give people free oil changes, give them a warranty that says we'll fix anything that can possibly go wrong outside of hitting a brick wall. In return, owners will come in once a month for interviews about their cars, tell us what they like and, more important to us, what they don't like.

Those irresponsible owners are not going to be the ones to take out the additional insurance, that are going to put up a vicious dog sign that can be read from 100 feet away. They're not going to buy a muzzle to be put on the dog.

Unfortunately, we never won the suit and the union was disbanded the following year after the owners pressured numerous star players.

Unfortunately, the arena owners have not offered any constructive response to these efforts and recently advised us that they are satisfied with the status quo. Accordingly, we have advised both parties that we have withdrawn from the process.

Those who choose not to follow the rules may ruin it for the dog owners that are complying.

Those who are not in those areas will know that they're not going to be affected by the arena. Some of the property owners that are in those areas may yet still be unaffected, but we won't know until we do more study.

We are pleased that this process has finally concluded with an agreement. This agreement is not about one side winning and losing. Ultimately, it is about what is best for the players, the owners and the fans.

We plan to bring standardization to all that we're doing, ... We hope to have some RMUs in place by Christmas. We also plan to spend money for tenant improvements to help bring in more national tenants. The new owners plan to take the mall to the next level, which will be even better for our customers.

We know we can do it. Even the owners need confidence. The owners got to believe that they can bring a title to the city. If the owners don't believe it, nobody's going to believe it.

We don't have an estimate yet on damages, but the owners said it was a complete loss.

We're entering an era where delivery platforms mean less and less to an audience. The consolidation of these networks within the broadcast business speaks to the consolidation of power within the hands of station owners and the general entertainment conglomerates, but underneath that is a fundamental sea change in the way younger consumers experience media. They won't feel limited, because they can reach out in so many ways to get content. We're not in an age anymore where content distribution is limited to broadcast stations.

The proposed rule is a far cry from what is needed to protect farmers, workers, and children from pesticide drift. It makes no sense to give notice only to select property owners when the whole community should be notified. Also, the notification zone is too small. We would like to see all property owners within one mile of farms given advance notice of pesticide application.

The property owners want some service they typically can't get with the township. ... Wisconsin is one of the few states that have town government. They have disappeared in most states or never existed in the first place. Town officials aren't comfortable hearing that.

We don't know yet if the Mini Mart is the sole source of contamination. We will continue our investigation into other possible sources. However, the Mini Mart owners have been cooperative and are helping clean up the contamination.

We didn't strike, we were locked out. I've often thought the owners set this all up to burn a season and create lots of free agents. That's not what I call negotiating fairly. I hope the PA (executive) fights for it, but I'm not optimistic they'll win.

We believe consumers benefit when companies compete for their business. So we're excited to bring another option to commercial vehicle owners in New Jersey.
