this is the way our ill-lustrious legislature does things.  the public be damned!  input be damned!  "negotiations" were signed, sealed, and delivered in setting concrete prior to this "special session" - under the keen watchful eye of NO ONE!  rhetorical protestations aside from the "honorable" House Vice-Speaker Bellatti, the concrete has dried and set and is only being "watered" to ensure its consistent solidification.  the political eye-wash of a 5-day session is and was never meant to receive meaningful input from the public who must deal with everyday living rituals.  by ousting the dissenters on the House  Finance Committee under the guise of "re-organization" is only more evidence of the "inclusiveness" of this "august" body!  the "re-organization" has silenced the squeaky wheels within the committee as it gathers more speed sliding down the proverbial "slippery slope" of political no confidence.  these representatives know that they are safe to do anything they want!  hooya!
