Compared to Earthpork, maybe that's a bargain...

$250,000? That won't pay a single jobs training executive for one year!

The acronym WeBCATT is worth $200,000 by itself!

Who says pork can't be kosher??

I've sat on several committees, probably not unlike CIETEC, but not as high-level. It was a constant search for money, grant writing, and a search for contributions. It was disgusting. I was glad when I was eventually told that I no longer had to attend those meetings. I felt like a whore.
Egads, man, POST! Give me something to read!! Slacker!
