"It’s a unanimous thing from both of us."
I think Clark's quote is interesting.
"It’s a unanimous thing from both of us."
Personally I dont think any commissioner being replaced should have any more say than a regular citizen in his replacement. Since he isnt an outgoing commissioner. He isnt supposed to be there in the first place.
It isnt like he is voluntarily retiring.
Who the heck is Tim Greene?

What do you want to be he is over 65 y/o?
I know of a Tim Greene from
