“this is really an exploration and an understanding legally of what we could do, what we can do. If someone is coming to this work session seeking an answer to the question, what should the Assembly do in any given situation, you're not going to be satisfied today because that is not the discussion.”

From the transcript

There is always potential risk of litigation, which is something that if, if you have not internalized that as a member, I encourage you to do so quickly. And also I ask members to think about what precedent we have to base our actions and decisions on, and what precedents are we setting for our peers in the future. And so that's really, again, why it's so important to understand these processes and why we have this opportunity today. Lastly, I'll reiterate it's about process, but this is really an exploration and an understanding legally of what we could do, what we can do. If someone is coming to this work session seeking an answer to the question, what should the Assembly do in any given situation, you're not going to be satisfied today because that is not the discussion.
