JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

TVA Board of Directors Meeting Highlights, Bowling Green, Kentucky - November 20, 2015

UPDATE: November 25, 2015 "TVA racks up $6 billion shortfall in its employee pension fund"
From the Chattanooga Times Free Press
"The Tennessee Valley Authority lost $762 million in its pension fund investments in fiscal 2015, leaving the federal agency with a record high $6 billion shortfall in its employee retirement system.
TVA's pension plan, which provides benefits to 23,700 retirees and also includes nearly 10,000 active TVA employees, reported assets of $6.8 billion as of Sept. 30, or only 53 percent of the $12.8 billion that actuaries estimate the plan needs to provide all of the future benefits promised to TVA workers and retirees."  http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/business/aroundregion/story/2015/nov/24/tvpensiplunderfunded-6-billion/337317/

    Then, there is the nuclear decommissioning fund, never hear about it as it is underfunded by at least 100%. Only a government corporation would continue to exist with its pack of liars at the helm. TVA's debt continues to rise and as the article explains, its' pension program is underfunded and mismanaged.
    The $5 billion plus which the rate payers must pay should go against the TVA's debt, so should its interest payments on the debt. That would place the true debt picture at $60 billion dollars which the rate payers are on the hook to pay.

Unfortunately I was not able to video all of the online streaming portion of the Executives presentation because of a Certificate Problem originating from the TVA or the streaming contractor. The video is not currently available on the TVA web site.
