You know, it reads a LOT better than it looked... But what was this? "John Jenkins: ... I think it is possible I don't know, it would depend on the definition of dramatic. There are people who are better qualified than we are." Run that by me again, JJ. M.

>>>>(POWER FACTS: TAVA HAS OVER 400 EMPLOYEES IN 11 OFFICES NATIONWIDE. IT WAS ORIGINALLY KNOWN AS TOPRO.)<<<<<<<< This is something I noticed in the last press release re LA County. And I see it again here among the power facts listed. Why does Tava say it has over 400 employees? This is what their press releases said in mid April. It's what their press release said in mid May. Yet supposedly they had 473 by June 15 - in fact it was you who posted this information. (Was that info from Scott?) And if you figure they planned on hiring 150 in 90 days, they could have hired another 24 employees since then. Why not say over 450 employees or over 470 employees or almost 500 employees? Number of employees is the single biggest factor when it comes to hopes for higher revenues and earnings. They can announce all the contracts they please but if they don't have the employees it means nothing. Tava has not been shy about advertising increases in employees in the past. Why are they now? Why not let people know that they are rapidly expanding their employees - as promised. Based on the press releases and this power fact one would assume that the number of employees has remained constant over the past 2 months instead of increasing by almost 20%. Imagine how much more powerful this power fact would be if it said, "Tava has increased it's workforce over 20% in just the last 2 months to meet the demands for year 2k." Instead of the bland, Tava has over 400 employees. This would have helped counter the impression left by the power fact that Tava with year 2k was making less money and only marginally more revenue than it did a year ago. Somebody ought to call Scott and ask him about this one. RS
