Ken I want to quickly give committees such power (but let me be clear - it
is not just spending that propels me to want transparency). We just
empowered ASC with this and our Chair suggested we might want to entertain
a Candidate support committee - this cannot wait in my view.
Our reluctance to only take up things more than four times a year baffles
and frustrates me. I couldn't imagine the LPCO functioning properly that
way - much less the LNC.
Why wait?
