Billingham and Expansion Group Will Be Patient
Billionaire Gates Billingham, the chairman of the a group of investors, who want to join the Islandian Pro Alliance, held a press conference in Grand City today and said his group would be patient and wait to hear the report from the IPA Expansion Committee headed by Jock Ewing and Jorge Trujillo.

Billingham told The Islandian News and BNN his group did not need a quick answer and he appreciated the need for study in the matter. "That is what any prudent person would do in this situation. I'm sure Commissioner Banford will move the process along and do the study in a thorough fashion. As long as our group has two months advanced notice, we can be ready to play baseball in the coming IPA season. Not only do we have the financial backing and administrative skills to run a baseball team, we have the stadiums, too. And perhaps, the most important thing of all, we have the overwhelming support of public opinion, who are greatly in favor of expansion."
