Should LCC not have assisted HBC with there problems instead of just pulling the rug out from under them?
Or did LCC just not like having control over what was done and where with highways issues?
I would be more interested to understand who it was that decided to spend the money on something other than Highways and what the agreements were between LCC and HBC.
