Far be it for me to give the Morse family any marketing advice. They seem to be doing rather well, and this IRS matter seems to have had little (if any) impact, based on the all of the construction new starts south of 466.
I'm not sure what constitutes "comfort," or who needs it? "Stuff" happens all the time in business, especially when regulatory or other agencies get involved, and business people deal with it. It's part of the cost and fact of doing any kind of business.
One thing is for sure: negotiating anything in a fishbowl environment rarely (if ever) works well, to include negotiation by presentation of one side's position in the press. The POA should realize this, especially after it's previous experience.
