You just never know when all the arrogance and sense of entitlement that is the Party Machine of Finch-Wood-Testa will come home to roost.
These challenge-slate winners were honest and organized. And they got the job done. God bless the BOE challenge slate.
Now the need to be ever watchful will begin. If David Walker and John Marshall Lee are worth their weight in gold, it will be now.
Truth telling will not be coming from Tom Sherwood or Mark Anastasi to members of the challenge slate.
Look at it this way. Sherwood and Anastasi have two years to find a job.
