Again, nothing to do with the genesis of the initial distrust. The delegation asked for billing documents and was blown off. Happens all the time in conflict (litigation) -- why should I be cooperative if the other side isn't being cooperative. I am assuming the delegation isn't cooperating because the Commissioners and full time staff aren't cooperating.
The tone was set by the initial request. The Commissioners and the full time staff thought they had no accountability to anyone, including the delegation.
