The Town Council, through the Mayor's Office, has made an official statement regarding the recent construction project undertaken by Blue Sun on the outskirts of town. While Blue Sun is widely known throughout the 'Verse for a broad range of products - from Foodstuff to Portable Entertainment Systems, some Hale's Moon residents have lived here long enough to remember life under Wayland Yutani, and expressed concern that Blue Sun's investment could signal the return of "Life in a company town."
In a brief statement in Town Hall, the Mayor was quoted as saying "Blue Sun's investment here on Hale's Moon does not signal wholesale Corporate involvement on our little slice of Heaven. You fine folk expect your local government to do what's right for the colony, and that's what we've done here. We've received legally binding paper that holds them to certain standards, and they'll be doing business under terms that are very favorable to the colony."
When asked about other corporate investments, the Mayor responded "We still have a working relationship with Black Tortoise Mining to buy our ore, and Frontier Transport for use of our transhipment facility. As far as the business is concerned, the new Blue Sun installation won't stop investment by other companies and it won't interfere with our way of life."
While details of the agreement have not been made public as yet, it's rumored that the negotiations were rushed to enable Blue Sun to continue with their construction while still giving the Colony a solid deal.
