But the thing that we do not know is how much quality/revenue is due to the private company compared to the amount of profit (or loss) they are taking from citizens/skiers--it's a complex question. That's why we need professionals/technocrats leading these issues, not extremists who can't even manage their legal bills or keep a well respected management team on the job

A good deal for the consumer should not be the scope of the delegation.
The delegation should be working for the taxpayers that vote them in... that is whom they represent.
That means they only need to determine if the leasing deal is the best they can get for each part...
The lease from Sunapee did go to Cannon. It was part of the deal being that the park system is self-funded.
