I understand Gutierrez only has a limited time in office, so hopefully whenever the next significant issue for all concerned arises requiring collaboration, it won't be Gutierrez or any of his sidekicks involved with mapping this pilot groups or the regional industries future.
I agree with you as far as Tony, but when you are trying to unify a front you can't just bypass Tony. This the politically correct way of contacting Eagle, on that note by sending this to Tony he forced his hand. This letter didn't leak because Tony made it available. He did it correctly in my eyes and gave Tony the opportunity, if he choses not to then the LECs will force Tony just as they have for the last couple of week. But outside of the politically correctness, I am there with you. Tony is just a figurehead but he has no doing in all of this. It's actually a fitting way for him to finish hie term.
