Interesting article Lynn, thank you. TNC is closely associated with the federal government. It is also interesting that they maintain a strong and growing presence in many other counties.

No doubt a part of their agenda is to strengthen ties with various governments and officials. It is just easier to do business this way. Of course this is often a means to make things "happen" in a more timely manner. Since they conduct business all over the world, I wonder if their partnership with all governments isn't more of a lobbying relationship, lip service being paid to federal and local regulations.
