Wow! A nice looking coming up after 28
years. That's pretty cool. <BR> <BR>But here is the main reason for this post: As many of you know I work for the Washington State Department of Revenue. I am essentially a high ranking peon who has certain areas of expertise in Washington tax law (even though I am neither a lawyer or an accountant.) One of my areas is tax preferences for aerospace, which is a big deal in Washington because of Boeing's presence here. [WAKE UP! I'll get to the point here in a minute!]<BR> <BR>In the world of big planes, it's pretty much Boeing vs. Airbus and the United States vs. the European Union. The US filed a complaint against the EU with the World Trade Organization , claiming illegal subsidies to Airbus. The EU then filed a complaint against the US claiming illegal subsidies to Boeing, which included the tax prefetences on which I am the (alleged) expert. So I have spent a slice of my time over the past 6 years
helping the US Trade Relation folks prepare their case. <BR> <BR>But now they want me to go to Geneva, Switzerland with them for the next round of hearings. Sounds pretty cool, right? Well, it's not. It's actually quite a grind, first to get there, and then you spend 3 days in meetings and hearings and apparently these folks never stop talking shop and planning strategies. <BR> <BR>BUT THE WORST PART IS I'D MISS THE SECOND HALF OF COMIC CON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<BR> <BR>Oh, the pain. What is an obsessive Sergio-Groo Fan to do? Surely there is a Groo-ish solution to this problem. I am open to suggestions. <BR> <BR>Despondantly yours,<BR> <BR>Gary G. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>-------------- next part --------------<BR>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<BR>URL: <<a
