Press, former chairman Richard Greene never agreed to the vote and former chairman leavitt rarely took the matter to a vote unless there was a 50 vote. Are there any areas you can work on with the other two commissioners to reach a unanimous decision and if so give us some examples. We certainly strive for consensus. We know everything is not unanimous. I havent figure verified it but 65 of those a unanimous but obviously it is still a percentage that has not been unanimous.
