The original document addressed a specific set of needs, later revisions added to the original rather than changing the original language. Lazy ? Without precedent?

Those sections should have been re-written to curb that problem long ago. The simple fact is that MOST people will read the "gender specific" reference, first. It's the way the Charter is laid out.Zenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05815765335808809176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19805669.post-55626478237790779992008-07-09T13:45:00.000-07:002008-07-09T13:45:00.000-07:00Hardly a massacre.

It is apparent that he does not want the limelight (or any other flavor of light on him or his administration), and would not have shoved Edgerly out had she not taken a position of righteous defiance and the public and political cry was starting to gain momentum.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12491177410716746451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19805669.post-28954597033557986982008-07-09T09:33:00.000-07:002008-07-09T09:33:00.000-07:00Where in the Charter is such language?
