As I have stated before, it is not so much as I am a "big defender" of TASO, as it is until I hear a better alternative then I feel it is what we have to work with, and rather than shoot it down because of some flaws, we should work to fix it or to find something that will work even better. Complaining for the sake of complaining never gets anything accomplished.
In this thread, however, my "defense" of TASO was simply that the blame was being laid at the wrong feet. TASO is not, nor never has been, responsible for getting officials paid in Texas, or for the guidelines that govern their payment. That is strictly the domain of the UIL. I think, oftentimes, that officials in Texas confuse the roles of TASO and the UIL. In many cases they see them as one in the same entity. This just isn't the case.
As we have discussed before, representation begins as the local level.
Also, no offense was taken with your comments, I was just unaware that TASO was my "beloved."
