[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2578565, member: 14176"] I think most of the "deals" that [USER=8481]@Mugarolla[/USER] was referring to are sealed with a "handshake" the night before at the [I]Winking Lizard[/I], or some other similar establishment? I don't think he was implying that it was happening during an "executive session" or at the Panel itself. Unfortunately, far too often, our elected Local officials are chosen on the same criteria that those who were chosen to ride on the float in the Homecoming Parade were back in High School. Then when faced with actually having to do the job, reading, writing, researching, and forming lucid arguments on our behalf; they can't. Their only recourse at this point is to "trade horses", or be exposed as incapable. It can be really hard to watch. "Generally" being the operative word and would seem to ring true in regards to those who the panel "chairman" is for the Union. The other two seats,....I'm not sure that I have seen that same "rhyme or reason". Not always, but more often than not, the other two seem to be there only to hold the chair down during the hearing. What they do during "executive session", I can only speculate. I believe in your State, they call it "pre-panel"? Not sure why you were not able to "connect those dots"???....but again, can only speculate. ~Bbbl~™ [/QUOTE]
