now that engineering has been sent offshore I don't care about options expensing anymore, I think options should be expensed. The tech lobby is calling for this other plan that expenses top executives options and not anybody elses. That would be ok too since top executives are where the problem is. The legislation, written by Rep. Richard H. Baker (R-La.), would require firms to expense stock options for their top five executives only. The bill, endorsed by Sen. Barbara Boxer (news, bio, voting record) (D-Calif.), also would create a new method of figuring an option's cost that some critics believe would produce a misleadingly low value.
