Movement of locos back to VMT

[NW Mailing List]

Thank you for the interjection Bruce.
   
  My whole point, to sum it up is this:  VMT, in my opinion, should be nice and cooperate with NS.  I think the NWHS keeps up good relations with them, and it pays off.  VMT could benefit from a friendly cooperation with NS in many ways.
   
  My other views on VMT are just my opinion.  And, everyone has one...

We've had VMT discussions to a point in the past, then the plug was
pulled (and I understand why and have no problem with it).

For those who want to pursue the matter and issues with the who and
how of the VMT off list, there are two resources to dig into. The
first is the Guidestar organization (http://www.guidestar.org/), which
posts information about non-profit organizations, including the Form
990 filed with the IRS. Registration is required, but it is free. The
other site is the State Corporation Commission
(http://www.scc.virginia.gov/). Go to the Office of the Clerk
(http://scc-internet.scc.virginia.gov:8080/corporate/arfilings/corpsearch.asp)
and dig into the "Clerk's Information System" for information about
the VMT (this isn't an easy system to navigate, but the reports are
there).
