Goldman Sachs and Cintra
Over at Bob Ingle's blog, 'anonymous said...', Goldman Sachs Infrastructure Partners was established 2006 ---- same time Corzine was elected governor and positioned four G/S buddies in state government.
A further look shows my earlier theory that Cintra was involved too:
Excerpt:
Already, Goldman Sachs has begun putting the fund to work. In June, it led a consortium including the government of Singapore and the Ontario Municipal Employees’ Retirement System in the £2.8 billion leveraged buyout of U.K.-based Associated British Ports. And in August, it joined a host of private equity firms and management in the pending $22 billion LBO of Houston-based pipeline owner Kinder Morgan.
Even before this recent activity, Goldman Sachs was no stranger to infrastructure investing, serving as the financial advisor in two landmark deals: the state of Indiana’s $3.8 billion, 75-year lease of the 157-mile Indiana Toll Road earlier this year and Chicago's 99-year, $1.83 billion lease of the Skyway bridge in 2005. A joint venture of Spanish construction giant Cintra and Macquarie won the bidding for both leases.
