  Ah yes a consultant, that explains it. I would urge you to update your knowledge of the company and compare it to what other companies of their size do. Too many people in this community feel that because a company...
• Commented on Surprising Landmark: History of the Tishman
  Benfranklin, please do research before posting very unintelligent comments on blogs. First of all National Fuel is much more than a company that "just distributes" natural gas to Western New York. They are also an enormous player in the natural...

• Commented on Canalside Happenings

• Commented on President Obama's Tucson Speech: Full Text
