Legislative leaders utilize “tender negotiations”
January 27, 2009
Get outta town!!
In Dan Popkey’s article today about Governor Otter’s decision to not mention local-option taxes in his State of the State address, the Governor explains it was removed because the leaders of our state legislature preferred to use “tender negotiations”.
Our leaders describe arm-twisting in their secret, closed caucuses “tender negotiations”?
Representative Mike Moyle perhaps is the “leaders”:
“I told him I was concerned about that being brought up,” Moyle said Monday. “I’d much rather work it out rather than fight it in the State of the State or the newspaper.”
Wouldn’t want to discuss this big issue in public now would we Mister Leader[s]?
