Honest question, why do public officials get to have another week to and more time to review when everybody else has to abide? They're publicly elected officials, get their salaries paid by taxes, and should deliver, same as anyone else. In the private sector "a little more time to review" can get you fired, why is it any different for the public sector? A job is a job, get it done on time.
