If the membership new in '13-'15 we were going to run out of money do to miss-management of our dues, I bet there would have been more noise. $14.1 Million of our dues money is a lot to spend on a contract especially when the MEC did not even try for the MCF $5 Million grant back then. I remember how shocked the audience was when the then Sec/Tres told the membership there was just over $400K left in the bank when the "TA in concept" was agreed to by the NC and $14.1 million was spent on the effort. How much later was the language finished? Oh and has contract '15 been fully implemented yet? How is that great Secondary Line Generator anyway? I still remember a quote from one who was in the know, "they travel in entourages and stay in suits." When I heard we were out of money, I understood the quote better.

NO if we had known then, I think things would have been different. So we can learn from the past or not. This time you can't say you didn't know.

Thankfully, this time around our dues are being watched a bit closer. I give credit where it is due. There is still some FPL National should be paying like Legislative Affairs for cargo issues to name one. I haven't seen much lately from national on any cargo issues, have you?
