Next time you blast Brian Blake, invite him on PP. Id like to see that. You gave him the courtesy of doing it in person or over the phone or by email. You treat your other friends like crap.

Instead of contacting those who represented cca in those hearings, you came to the web, piled on the general membership and expected us, to side with you without knowing all the facts. You didnt care what damage you did in the long run. You didnt want to do it by yourself, so you wanted to whip up a mob. Im not crazy about the fee, but Im not going to put the blame on the negotiators. This comes down the legislature robbing Peter to save Paul and then giving Paul a free pass and asking Peter to pay for both. This is not new. The first thing politicians buy is parks, the first thing they cut is fire and police.

I dont care that you had Brian over to your house. Have a caucus for all I care. The point was, you and he did legislation together, but when it came to such a vital issue of saving a few bucks, you didnt even talk about it. You have no counterpoints to the math and Im not surprised. There is no escaping the numbers, although it seems the banking industry
and deficit spenders, like to think so. Youre still stroking your own fur on your efforts, but efforts made by others simply dont count. Failure of others is not allowed. Blake wants to look good and you want a pound of flesh. You got it. Get your camera out.

Mission accomplished.
