Contents: We have forty plus ideas here and some are connected and some are redundant but clearly not all of these are going to be in the report. When do we get to the point where we decide after we've had some reflected discussion on it that something's going in.

Commission chairmen Charlie Shields says the commission will have recommendations ready for the governor by January first.
