Doug,
Looks like our new corporate overseers are taking no
time at all to begin living the good life at LANL's
expense.

Lab's per diem practices don't comply (Los Alamos Monitor, June 25, 2006)
...The preference to stay off the hill appears to trickle down from the top.
Between the four hotels in town, they could only account for one member of
the LANS transition team, a Bechtel person, who stayed in Los Alamos during
the six-month transition period of December through May, before taking over
management of LANL.
Bravo, news lane! Those two guys (RetiredPuere in particular) do indeed smack of government teat-suckers. Couldn't have said it better.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, however, it sure is nice to get off the Hill now and then and go have a beer some place where you are not surrounded by a bunch of irritating lab cone-heads.

Never once did the LA Monitor nor the Los Alamos Hospitality Association members ever mention that the hotels in Los Alamos, with the exception of the Quality Inn DO NOT offer the GSA federal lodging allowance. The LAHA could start getting more business if they offered the federal lodging allowance room rates. People might even want to stay in the Los Alamos hotels if the hotels upgraded once in a while.
