"That never happened when Speaker Brown and I were two of the Big Five," Wilson said. I assume these two created the unconstitutional "Big Five" method of trading favors... err, I mean negotiating budgets?
That crap has got to go.

I see “Pete the Tweet” still has delusions of grandeur. Also, I believe his memory may be fading—he wasn’t a member of the “Big Five” but did belong to the “Five Clowns”.

I couldn't conclude from the blog that the extra-constitutional,
Big 5 process started during the FY 91/92 budgeting negotiations by I respect your insight EGD.
Neither can I appreciate why its constitutionality hasn't be challenged. It directly disenfranchises sitting officials with the authority to contribute. The caucus structure is a valid tool in partisan matters, but not during the peoples business.
