All kidding aside, I do wish you guys and gals and everything in between the best outcome possible. I found this forum when gas was spotty for trips to DV. I have since learned some of you are very informed and problem solvers. I don't agree with your crazy ones, but I understand your point of view. I have worked there, at the plant some 20 plus years ago and have some understanding of the history and the issues of a company town on the outskirts of a somewhat limited funded county. Realization tells how much tax revenue leaves Trona to the coffers of the county from everyone but the plant. That may be a reason, though not justified on the amount of funds being returned. I hope the Governor has the sense to ask the Feds for the money to help you rebuild. Hell, they keep over and over sending money to cities built below sea level all the time when a hurricane floods them. Again, below sea level, over and over. I wish I had more to offer, I am a divorce now that just continues to burn up money, but if down the road you have some kind of pancake breakfast, Earthquake Party or anything like that I will make every effort to attend. You folks are OK by me.
