"They refused,” he said. “We have
submitted what the charter says we
have to and it seems to not be good
enough. We’ll let a court decide
whether or not (Cano’s) interpreta-
tion of the Sherman Case is correct.”
Morales said her understanding of
the issue was that the Association
was told to put certain items in the
petition, and when they did, they
were told it was wrong, — —.53

Member Noemi Morales asked
Hofmann why a set of rules could
not be put in place for petitions.
"They have no guidelines of what
to follow, so they feel that the rules
are being made up as they go
along," she said.
“If they don't have anything in
their hands, they can keep on writ-
ing until the millennium comes 20
times, and never get it right."
“There have been discussions,
there have been meetings, it has
been pointed out," he told Morales.
“I don't think you can use the word
guidelines, but I do think it's pretty
clear what the requirements are and
I think it's been made clear. There
have been responses in writing as to
what the shortcomings have been,
and I frankly don't think it's very
complicated.
“I feel like that if a concerted
effort were made by the appropriate
people." Hofmann said, “and they
