That's the attorney general's job, and I try to do my job. |
That's why they got chocolate and vanilla, Wolf, |
The commission's role is advisory; it has no authority to impose any decision on any subject on anybody, ... inclusive, collaborative, participatory effort that arms the ultimate decision makers. |
