Open Discussion - Program

Wow. As of the last update, there were only 18,487 undetermined Matrix claims. So, somewhere around 3/4 of the remaining.  

Yesterday it was revealed that 14.000 survivor claims where Slater Slater and Schulman were the representing attorneys have been on hold since June 2024. Judge Houser sent a letter to Judge Silverstein telling the court that all 14,000 claims will need to go thru an independent third-party review to check for validness. The Slater Firm has admitted to their clients that they have used improper procedures, and the trust used the wording "that there are procedural and factual problems in some of the Slater Firm’s claim submissions to the Trust.". The cost of the Independent Third-Party reviews will be borne by the Slater Firm. https://casedocs.omniagentsolutions.com/cmsvol2/pub_47373/4edc6640-5bce-4b58-99e2-e8cfb2c6484a_13103.pdf

National HQ needs to fund the councils. 

There are councils charging more than that for the council fee? 

I had a discussion with the Scout last night when he wanted to test for Second Class and couldn't tell me when it is appropriate to use a fire for cooking or other purposes.  I pointed out that there are people with the Eagle badge and people with the Eagle badge who actually know the stuff, and asked what type he wanted to be.  He said he wanted to be the latter.  I pointed out that he couldn't list the Leave No Trace Principles, let alone tell me how to apply them, for example, when it came to fires.  I signed off some other stuff, but he will need to return to studying the material.
