Joe - You have misrepresented the agency actions and misrepresented the time line. I think receiving an electronic copy of the document and then placing on our WEB site that afternoon is pretty quick for state government. Turning it around and getting the hard copy out the door in days ...

Joe - What are you writing??? No one held back the plan..it was simply at the printers....the printers took much longer than we expected. And who prodded me?? I don't remember anyone calling or asking me anything. You never called me once. How can you say you nagged me? The ...
