I think if by this afternoon we do not hear from him that we will have something out for a vote by next month, it’s a clear indication he’s the sole stoppage. He’s chosen his hill to die on and it’s at our expense.
I have butted heads with both AR and his gang of 3, and I do agree that they are so protective of each other. Its sick really. They work for us, and I will continue to critic his work when required.
Now, that aside, I think your observation is spot on but with a different take on it. AR is the only thing standing between us and another crappy contract that MG wants us to vote on and that will probably pass because we have some super-sellouts here.
So I for one am glad that he is standing between us and that terrible option.
