So we are protected! If you believe all that I've got a few bridges to sell you. While the county has a memorandum of understanding with MMPI there is no contact and until we know what that contract says those clams are to me absolutely meaningless. And even then if history is any judge, there will be other ways to get around putting MMPI and not the county on the mark for overruns and deficits.
