Best an independent thinker?

In what way has Best become an independent thinker? Has he EVER not voted with Billy and Garcia in his FOUR YEARS in office? As soon as the theater was included in the package he became an adamant supporter. Some people can be bought for a hamburger, others for a plaque trumpeting their legacy; still others hold out for a theater that will never be filled but WILL BE a constant financial drain on the residents for the next 20 years. Best, Lob and Garcia independent thinkers? Please. To hold out for the highest possible offer before selling his soul was probably good for Best, but definitely NOT good for the taxpayers. How can a huge theater POSSIBLY be justified? There have never been more than 60 people at ANY production I have attended! What makes them believe they can fill a 400-seat theater?
