If our DOE contractor counterparts out West were having their pensions paid by profits earned from their superior work, I could feel better about that, but when I realize that it is part of MY Federal Tax dollars that go to DOE to fund those pensions, and they are significantly larger than mine, it really is a pill that is hard to swallow. It hurts even more when I realize that neither DOE nor their contractors have added a single penny to the Oak Ridge pension fund since 1984. Good Post there, Mr. Price!

I know the feeling, Charlie but I do believe that the tone arround the recent CORRE meetings with our antagonists (and our protagonists) is sounding more encouraging. An e-mail to our western local legislators (and any others) would be inorder. The Christmas season would be good timing. Get that rope out, the cold weather is coming.
