What procedural voodoo? The MEC votes it up or down, same as they do for MOUs. DH didn’t do anything solo, nor under policy is he able to. If you want to hold people responsible, then that would include the reps who supported the settlement as well as the committees that said this was the way to go.
Batch sizes were not a part of C2019 other than to actually increase the sizes slightly.
I’m not a DH fan, but the claim by some that he has all kinds power is simply not accurate. The MEC has peeled a lot of authority away from the chair over the years, so lay the blame where it belongs.
I was in ATL around 2016 when all that dysfunction was going on between the reps. JM’s biggest supporters on the MEC at the time (SdR & SM) voted against the MEMRAT change. They wouldn’t have done so if JM had supported it. They were the only 2 votes against it.
