Mr. Chairman, we have to quit spinning our wheels. We've asked before. I understand that it didn't happen at the last meeting, when I had other duties. But we asked repeatedly again this morning about the legality of using these words. I don't see us carrying this forward in any way unless we find out, unless we get some legal advice.
Can we use the word “rights” or not? What does it mean? What does it entail? We talked about the ombudsman. Is it legislated authority or not? Is it a heavy hand? What is it? Let's find out.
You were asked two meetings ago to bring somebody in. I understand that with the commitment we had at the last meeting we couldn't do it, but let's quit sitting around here talking about this, unless we're going to answer that question.
