My decision was based on whether it is worthy of your consideration. I believe it is. That being said, I do not plan to recommend either way how you should vote.
Busboy,
Your block rep is taking the easy way out! I say that because he was hired to work, on the inside, on your behalf, and as such, he should have an opinion, based on his expanded knowledge of the situation in question, and he should share that opinion with the folks who elected him, and make a recommendation to them, not pass the buck.
19 years ago, I went into the hospital to have a lymphangiogram done to see if I had cancer below my diaphragm. The procedure took 7 hours and it was somewhat painful. After the procedure, the radiologist took X-rays and interpreted them. However, he wouldn't commit to an answer. So after all that work on his part, and pain and mental anguish on my part, I didn't know anything more than I did before undergoing the procedure. I was ticked beyond belief, and finally left the hospital, after telling the folks in billing that I had no intention of paying their bill, because I felt that no service had been rendered. I would again talk to your block rep and get his feelings on the TA.
