I wasn’t thinking about it that way- but you are right.

Ted seems like a reasonable guy who, so far, has done a good job building consesus on stuff like this.

It would be a shame if the whole proposal failed to get implemented because Sykes couldn’t play nice.

Don’t even get me started on how horrible of a campaign she ran. Then again, she didn’t really want to run and it showed.

Of all the ODP endorsements, hers was the one that wound up hurting us in the general election given that she was endorsed over a county auditor who at least could cite some relevant experience for the job.

I think she’s all but made it appear that this proposal is being made hastily. Opponents are going to cite Governor Strickland as evidence that this proposal was being railroaded through the regulatory rulemaking process.

And it’s probably all for not because you just know that the General Assembly is going to intervene and kill the whole thing.
