The Democrats in Sen. Allison did not need much convincing on the logic of our cause and agreed to assist us, for which we thank them mightily and will be writing so.
As a result of their help, we achieved a result with Government in writing, that is, in the circumstances and the context of other legislation a win/win for all parties in the grand scheme of things, which will allow us all to go forward with our strict liability agenda. Hence the withdrawal.
I think we all understand that the art of politics is that of the possible.
We were elected on a "reform by negotiation" platform and that is the way it is working.
The Government and Regulator have embraced that as a smart and efficient way of working.
It doesn't mean we have rolled over as some would have, it does mean that we are working effectively together towards meaningful results, without the negative "stand out" headlines and "shouting matches" we had become used to as a matter of form
The uninitiated may not understand the huge commitment in time and resources required from the lawyers and other elves on our Board, especially Marjorie and Ron L, in reviewing the Acts for the appropriate application of strict liability, it takes time and time is something we do not have in abundance. And that on top of all of our other duties.
We would be delighted to have your input on Part 91 or any other part under review.
It is not appropriate for me to discuss the details here, but be assured we are going forward.
