Boy, does this sound familiar. Officials so afraid
of offending their constituency that they can't
simply act on the obvious: that someone who

name plastered around places of honor in their

preacher, and kind to old ladies, they have to
test the waters first.

I guess that way if they may lose some votes
they can play the "Well *I* wanted to make the
change, but the COMMUNITY had concerns..."
