I'm not saying either way what the reason is, this seems to be the simpler answer IMO.
My radar is as perked as yours towards our union heads, but nothing is official. You are right that it's odd to build this even though Jeff Smigel can get away with this in the short term a la the IAH-ASE thing. It's our job to stop this destruction with this contract...
