MMPI v. the rest of us: who shoulders the risk, who should accommodate


The party that shoulders the lesser risk should be the one accommodating the other(s).  What risk does MMPI face and how does it compare to the risk Cuyahoga County and its taxpayers take with the Medical Mart dream?

When I read this article about how MMPI will take its time, all I could think of was, well, wait a second – your taking time is my county taking my taxes before it is time – for anything.

Is this really the way we get things done? That things get done?  It doesn’t sound very negotiation-like to me at all, especially the selection site committee versus MMPI doing its own selection committee work.

What does any of this foreshadow if and when the deal goes through?  I’m not in favor of the deal falling apart, but I am concerned about the distribution and leveraging (or lack of leveraging) bargaining power between the parties – and I suspect that that’s what bugs Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson too – as well it should.
