Quote of the Day
“The fact of the matter is that she was out pushing this, this question, and the question asked specific questions about how I think and how I make decisions, which is not an auditable data point. If you go through the auditing 'Yellow Book,' never once is there a way to evaluate opinion-making," Mariano said. "I make decisions based on my opinion of the membership, decisions on bills. There's no way that you can evaluate my decision-making.”
