Mike Owens a reporter for NBC in St Louis i heard did a story for for the news station there. I heard he did two reports but i am not sure what is going on. I would think most operators would be curious since there this happened over a year ago. I am assuming that the Cassity family has not been affected like the operators have, I am sure they still have all their homes in Florida,Nantucket and obviously feel no need to curtail their lavish lifestyles. I would like to see Rick Alm do a follow up story. He did a great job covering the Forever and NPS when the story broke. I think any interested operators and consumers should email Rick at the Kansas City Star and let him know we want answers. It is up to the American public to DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY
