[Vision2020] UI to Furlough Employees

[Wayne Price]

Tom,

I agree with you on this one 100%

Now we'll hear the nashing of teeth and renting of cloth about how  
much more money the higher ups will loose,
but there is a vast difference between loosing $6,700 when you make  
$350,000 a year and some one loosing
$670 when they make 35,000!

And on a happier note, looks like there is money, several millions of  
dollars worth to dump into Kibbie Dome!
