Peter Humphreys was quoted by the Associated Press on March 3 regarding an alternative to leasing New Jersey's busy toll roads to private companies. The idea is to borrow against future toll revenue to pay debt, reduce property taxes and fund unmet needs. "You could raise a lot of money here very quickly," commented Mr. Humphreys, who also said he is not aware of any other state that has done this.

Peter Humphreys was quoted by The New York Times on February 28 regarding the possibility of leasing the New Jersey Turnpike to a private company. In one plan, tolls would be increased by 15 percent and bonds would be issued. Assuming interest rates remain where they are today, that could bring in $1.2 billion for the state, said Mr. Humphreys.

Edwin Laurenson was quoted in August 17 issue of HFM Week in an article that questions the longer lock-in periods that are becoming increasingly acceptable in the hedge fund industry despite the end of SEC rule. Mr. Laurenson provides perspective on still imposing these lock-ins "only managers reasonably sought-after were able to impose a two-year lock-in to get around SEC registration and will be able to keep it. They had market power to do it in the first place. They had to be someone in a considerable degree of demand."
