Funding deficiency in MP plan-treatment of lost earnings

[AndyH]

Plan has funding deficiency over many years being corrected with foregone earnings. Last time I looked at this, only the required contribution called for by the document was subject to the excise penalty, not interest or foregone earnings. Has anything changed?

[Belgarath]

Agree.

[AndyH]

Thank you. BTW, we're probably almost neighbors. What state are you in?

[Belgarath]

Let's just say that I'm far enough North of Boston so that we outnumber the Yankee fans by about 10 to 1. 20 to 1 would be better, but life isn't perfect.

New England is just one state anyway, right?

[AndyH]

Halfway through CT and up it is, anyway.

But I'd take 5:1.

And I must admit those Yankee shirts and hats were looking a lot less obnoxious a couple of weeks ago.

[Belgarath]

I'm just hoping for that wild card.

It does seem that the Yankers may be a bit more vulnerable in a short series this year - starting pitching leaves something to be desired. Although it doesn't seem to have slowed them down much... I just hope they don't get Randy Johnson!!!
