Say what?

Lets hope Hansell does a good job.

Hansell was brought in to destroy the NJA contract? I had not heard that.

His background is as a lawyer for Nyemaster, Goode, West, Hansell, & O'Brien, whose Labor & Employment division is Iowa's largest. Labor relations is one of its specialties. It's what he does, and I have no doubt that's why he was brought in by Sokol.
