I think I made it too monumental and that's something I promised myself I wouldn't do that at the beginning of the year. I made it too much of a win-or-lose situation.
Emanuel Sandhu
I promised that when we had this vote it would change. I was wrong. And the reason why I got in front of you all and promised that was because I was promised by a very high member of the administration.
