Sandia to blame for cost overruns
NNSA report concludes Sandia to blame for cost overruns to refurbish B61 arsenal
SNL has been squeezing hard on the B61 refurb 'teat' for every drop of rich, government funding they could grab. They have gold-plated the whole program.
If the B61 program doesn't keep growing like they had hoped then Sandia is going to have a big budget problem.
I heard that a couple of people in the Materials Chemistry department (including Adam Rowen, the manager) at Sandia booked a trip using Sandia funds to Hawaii to attend the 2012 ECS meeting. That is definitely a waste!

Oh yeah! The Chili Cookoff thread!
Why do those Sandia folks think they can get away with a taxpayer-funded chili cookoff?
On top of that all I keep hearing is that they are way overfunded and that they are not filling the hiring gap. Wtf?
They're still working hard on filling the mineshaft gap
