"Failure of the Senators to reach an agreement on their elected duty is something to 
be congratulated???? It's embarrassing that they can't do their jobs! What good are

very good at letting other people make the big decisions. Steve Sumner Ward 1 "

"I believe that I have presented legitimate arguments to show that the NRP 
reallocation meeting did not fairly present all residents with an equal opportunity to 
be represented."  -- Michael Atherton

you must first show that all the residents TRIED to be represented.
