So we threw the baby out with the bath water...and they brought in 18 hours.

I asked a hotel committee member after this passed why we allowed 18 and they too confirmed it wasn't the company wanting this, it was from certain people on the hotel committee (based on feedback) and some negotiating members who too did not like long drives. This member told me he hates that we went to 18 and now will be forced to negotiate it back next round to a "catch weight" time between the old 15 and new 18.
