I'm all for consensus building and proper channels and all that. And if you look back I said that's the path I'd prefer and WILL undertake if elected (but can I still get that Boddingtons!?!?!?).
But many before me have run on a platform of open Talkboard deliberations and been elected and still only incremental changes have taken place. If what it takes to have open Talkboard deliberations is Mr. Smith Goes to Washington-style tactics, well, like that fictional character, I believe that one man CAN make a difference.
