Now is fine, but remember since this is a very liberal board some may hesitate to call out their own.

This is a sticky political point for me - Jobs created is quantifiable. Jobs saved is not quite as much. IMO that is why the Admin. changed the terminology from created to saved or created. Also, I'm ok with jobs being saved.

Some of these are already done and waiting for weather, permits and such. From what I have heard, the engineers have already done their part.
