LANS lawyered up over fence failure
There are some reports that claim a legal battle is brewing over the TA 55 security fence construction project. Always thought that LANS had some good in house lawyers so this must be a really strange deal if they have to bring in outside legal big guns. On the outside it doesn't look like much of a case, since the problems apparently had been widely known for over a year. It could also just be a ploy to divert attention away long enough for the board to find some new leaders.

It was D'Agostino who single handedly decided on LANS/Bechtel as the LANL contractor. It was one of D'Agostino's hand-picked loyalist who then single handedly selected LLNS/Bechtel for the subsequent LLNL contractor.
On the downside, you can also expected some rather nasty "right-sizing" of the complex to take place soon after D'Agostino, LANS and LLNS are finally given the boot by Congress. Duck & cover!

Where's the downside to any of this? Frankly, the taxpayers are sick and tired of all the golden toilet seats, particularly at LANL.
