If it’s as harmless as Obie and Nancy keep saying....why not do all of this out in the open, with public DEBATE, which requires LISTENING to the public, and with an open VOTE and no procedural dirty tricks!?
Well if they debate then people might disagree. From their perspective, they want to save people that pain so it’d be much to pass it and just avoid all that aggravation.
It really is them saying “We know better than you. Trust us.”
