While I get the concept of wnting Westinghouse folks to bond over this new and controversial program, yeesh! In this time of job cuts it seems so excessive. So I bet someone out there will say this money was provided by a foundation and could not have been used for other purposes. Like a $30,000/year job.

For now you don't have to give your name- just post <br />"I will be participant 1" "I will be participant 2" (don't worry you will not have to speak in that order, just keeping count). It is difficult to get people to actually show up. Some cannot risk jobs.<br /><br />June 29, 2011 11:34 AM<br /><br />Anonymous said... <br />July 25th looks to be the next public hearing. <br /><br />I could be there and probably drag at least one to three more adults to attend.
