County fears loss of GRT if Los Alamos lab gets nonprofit status Los Alamos County officials are concerned that a stream of gross receipts tax revenues from Los Alamos National Laboratory -- tens of millions of dollars a year -- could dry up in coming months if the lab's new management contractor obtains nonprofit status from the IRS. https://www.lamonitor.com/content/county-fears-loss-grt-if-los-alamos-lab-gets-nonprofit-status en. Carlos Cisneros, D-Questa, said the tax revenue loss also would be felt by the state over time, particularly in years without an oil boom. Cisneros is a co-sponsor of a bill introduced in the 2019 legislative session that seeks to amend the New Mexico Tax Code to prevent gross receipts tax exemptions for major contractors formed to operate one of the state's national labs. "We rely on that funding for education and government services," Cisneros said. If oil and gas "goes south, it takes a chunk of the budget, and we are back in a re...

"One for the Road", another PNOV for LANS   https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2019/01/f58/Preliminary%20Notice%20of%20Violation%2C%20Los%20Alamos%20National%20Security%2C%20LLC.pdf

LANL still operating under dark shadow of LANS Even without any additional fine from NNSA to the now defunct operator, this is still a damning official action. Any near miss is serious and one at a nuclear weapons lab carries heightened risk for all involved. By the time this accident happened, McMillan had dumped almost all of the leadership that wasn't home grown and installed UC lifers in those roles. Only time will show if the Triad group has better judgement in selecting leadership. https://www.abqjournal.com/1264678/lanls-ex-operator-cited-for-another-safety-violation.html

Why does Los Alamos need GRT taxes from TRIAD? Is the money going to be used to create an even bigger justice center when Los Alamos is already the safest place in New Mexico. https://www.movoto.com/guide/nm/safest-places-in-new-mexico/ "Residents in Los Alamos had the lowest chance anywhere in the state of being the victim of a crime at 1 in 192.
