Quotations: Bernard Xavier – If you look at Quorum, what’s different about us is we’re focused on the convergence of all these applications onto one chip. We converge cellular and networking and eventually television into our radio chips.

Pat Thomas – There are some new requirements, but I don’t think that the gist of the old law has changed. They don’t want quorums meeting secretly, and we’ll make sure that that doesn’t happen.

David Lawrence – The statute says that they’re supposed to also amend other charter provisions that are related to the size change, and gives for example a change in any kind of quorum. It’s a complicated issue.

Terri Henning – It doesn’t matter what they called it. Anytime a quorum is deliberating agency business, they are required to do so at an advertised, open meeting unless an exception applies.

Jimmy Tillette – I thought that Randall and Joe Ross Merritt really did a good job of carrying us through the first half tonight. Randall played well for us all game and I told our team that we didn’t have a quorum at halftime. We only had two of the five players show up in the first half.
