Kennywood Entertainment owners divided on sale

Two hundred million divided by seventy-six is not all that much when you consider what the net would be after the IRS and the respective states get thourgh with takeing their share. I can see why they are having serious second thoughts.

$200million divided by 76 is $2,631,578.95.

Let's say the taxes were 90%, which would leave $263,157.89. I'd still be happy with that.

The rumor is that they have still not persuaded enough of the owners to sell.
