I believe this was Crew Resources third article on SL. Someone is directing them to write it. That someone is negotiating, albeit directly to us. It's a good sign. They want a contract and anticipate they can sway a few votes.

I seriously doubt that, any more than an insurance company "budgets" for zero car accidents.
