I wouldn't count on it, massdee. I don't think they'll have a majority to deny it. I think the only two who will vote against it are McGonagle and Smith.

| Doesn't Chuck usually leave the room when there's a vote having anything to do with the schools because of a conflict of interest? That leaves Marcus who could go either way depending on how his rug is sitting. |

| Do they not let Simonelli talk at home? It appears that when he has someone, anyone, who will listen to him he just keeps on blabbering and blabbering about nothing. The only one that appears to listen to this guy is Leo. Uh... enough said? |

| LYNDA Please the only reason you say that is because he knows all the wrong doings about the stolen money from the rec center and there is more to come on that story and Simmonelli knows it. What's wrong with following up on a crime. |

Simonelli comes across as angry, I agree. Billy Cardillo acts like a moron up there! I am no fan of Vetrano, but the way he "questioned" he and never let her respond, or did not seem to hear her answers was crazy. He does not even make eye contact he plays with his waistband and looks at the ceiling. And Simonelli was correct when he said Billy said there were no problems at the rec center back in the winter, then Billy denied it. Go back and watch the meeting Billy. I hope he does not talk to his wife and kid like that.
