Monday, I will have the pleasure of hearing Congressman Fred Upton, from Michigan, talk at the Cook Nuclear Power Plant. I am a member of the Board Of Directors for our Michigan Committee For Responsible Government, another way of saying a PAC. Michigan law is unique (go figure), and we can only contribute if we have a separate PAC (versus the Federal PAC that the rest of my company belongs to). Fred has been a huge supporter of Nuclear Power over the years, so I am really looking forward to hearing his perspectives with the election looming.
After he has lunch with us, and provides us with his insights, Congressman Upton will be conducting a press conference to announce an $80,000 NRC Grant to our local Lake Michigan College (LMC) for scholarships supporting a new Energy Production Technology Degree at LMC. Our Chief Nuclear Officer, who I work with on a frequent basis, will also be part of the press conference, stressing the need for a future qualified workforce in nuclear power.
Rest assured, there will be an entry on Monday with some tidbits :o)

Cool that you get to hear what one of Michigan's congressmen has to say! Wish I could be there! Congressman Upton seems to be a pretty decent guy, very down-to-earth.
