The seventh amendment passed. FINALLY!!

Phew, that's the least we can say! By chance we had two of the most rugged and experienced green 'channelers' on alert when the situation required it. First we'll have to agree that Sam 'the man' Brown, the elder of the lower chamber (south), was up to the task. Without him the crucial second article would have never been finalized. Even if this 'rates and quotas' business is not the glamourest, it's nonetheless the base on which the whole architecture was based upon. No second meant back to case one, as simple as that. From reliable sources 'The man' put up his greatest performance in years, fighting tooth and nails until the job was done. Sam Brown delivered once again!

Then came the 'wrap it up' quagmire that seemed to go on forever until Victoria Strasford - "Madam Vic" of Talmage fame- had had enough of those surrealistic and childish partisan games and started to talk for 15 minutes. The session being secret we had to dig hard to know what she said. On the condition of anonymity we now know for sure the first word and the last sentence. That's all we got. It started by a clear and loud "ENOUGH!" and finished by an even louder "NOW, DO YOUR DUTY!" One can only imagine what she said in the middle, but it surely wasn't words of love. 40 minutes later, the seventh had passed and the session was closed.

Sam Brown and Victoria Strasford did what they're paid for. And they did it well.
