But that's just the beginning," Debra continued, her voice steady and measured. "The McKinney Group's biggest strategic partner is the Potter Group. I have ties with Marion, and he's a key player there. Not to mention, the Houston family is closely linked with the Osborne family. Oh, and the Mathis family? They're Marion's relatives.
