Kinder-Morgan hired Crisis Communications Specialist to break the news about NED

Kinder Morgan finally released their press statement:
http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/NED_Project_Statement-April_20_2016.pdf

It's a benign-looking link on the project page(1), and not where their press releases normally go(2).

(2) http://ir.kindermorgan.com/press-releases/all/2016/all

(IR means "investor relations". Interesting to go there and check out the glorious stories about their cash flow...

HOWEVER-- If you "view properties" on the PDF, you can see certain Meta-Data, like the author of the document.

Turns out this guy is a "crisis communications specialist".

So while we're all trying to sort out what this means, what really happened, just keep in mind the K-M Board HIRED a "Crisis Communications Specialist" to break the news. I think that is noteworthy, that the K-M board thinks this is a crisis.
