It's unfortunate the change made by the Legislature generated so much confusion and doubt about the amendment's intentions,

While I understand how high the stakes are for each competing format, with all the delays and confusion it seems to me that everyone is a loser. [...] Now, I'm about as big a gadget freak as anyone, but I'm not stupid. When the time arrives that I can actually go down to Blockbuster and rent a high-definition DVD, I will almost certainly buy not only a new DVD player, but that 70-inch rear projection HDTV monitor also. But with prices continually dropping, better technology [coming] with time, and nothing for me to watch on it in HDTV format anyway, what's the rush to replace what is working fine right now?

We must now view our problems as opportunities - historic opportunities to change the failed systems of the past and do what's right for our future.

I think there was ongoing confusion about what was intended. . . . It seems logical to make an immediate change.

There will be confusion. Hunters, agency staff and vendors are confused by the ongoing change.

There's a climate there, no doubt about it. People do all this stuff [to improve facilities], and then if it doesn't work, the coach gets fired.
