Is this fix it committee or list of Ragsdale host committee?
What a crock. Nothing but Ragsdale lappers and wanna bees.
Nothing but a bunch of public employees and political grandstanders.
With a fix it crew like that, I hope Judge Weaver tosses them all out on their ear so there is nothing to fix.
The fix would be worse than starting all over. What a disgrace.

I don't know everyone on this list but I know enough to be very disheartened by the choices. Every name I recognize is dead set against term limits or they have reason to support those who are term-limited.
Guess we are going to end up with the same charter less term limits and a few special changes that "upsize" the power pie?
