It all comes down to this
Finally, the state and local governments are concerned about the possible loss of significant tax revenue if the new M&O contractor is a nonprofit. In the event the new contractor is not subject to the state's gross receipts tax, we ask you to work with the State of New Mexico and local jurisdictions and seriously consider other options to maintain support for the cost of local services the NNSA relies upon.

New Mexico needs to the money. The lab has too much money so it should give more to New Mexico. It is the only fair and just thing to do.
So who DID approve the top LANL leaders? UC, the LANS Board, and NNSA.
It is Bechtel it is their MO, they work the same way just as they do in Africa and South American, they come in pay of a few natives, totally f everything up get a lot money and leave. Classic Bechtel and the keep getting away with this because they have so much pull in DC or whatever government they need to pay off or bribe.

100% correct.
And that is why UC and all LANS partners have 0% chance in the contract rebid by NNSA.
Bechtel doesn't pay the UC managers who are in charge of LANL, NNSA does. Whatever Bechtel did or didn't do in Africa has ZERO bearing on LANL. And you know that.
GIVE IT UP, we all know that you've resorted to lying to slander private corporations. What are you, just another loudmouthed, misinformed Socialist?
One rumor I heard is that Bechtel is going to put in a bid and the plan was to blame
UC for the whole mess. It sounds kind of crazy but from looking at some anti-UC posts on the blog there might be some truth to this and Bechtel is putting some pretenders on the blog to try and make themselves look good. It seems rather odd just how much
push on the "UC owns" on the blog lately.
Never worked for Bechtel, and don't intend to attempt to defend all their history, however, do point out that they have a very small presence at LLNL and am not really aware of any outrageous actions on their part at the Lab.
