I see email trains going around now espousing the "no" side of things. That wasn't going on 10 days ago. I think folks are at least talking a good look and making up their own minds vice parroting their MEC.

It will be interesting to see the company/union campaign as we move towards the home stretch.

Proud of yourself?

Impressed Gooch?
