I respectfully disagree - it is apples and apples. In public education we are accountable to our financial supporters - the taxpayers. In the GSDCA, the board is repsonsible to its membership. So, with VERY LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, the board's business is also the members' business and we are entitled to know...

The last time I looked, the GSDCA was a PRIVATE Club. The proverbial comparing of apples and oranges. It just can't be used as a comparison. And yes I remember that previous horse we beat to death. Looks like we are lined up to slaughter a herd. Quite frankly I don't know why anyone would want to run for our Board, its a sad situation folks. Perhaps we could take a lesson from the breed we profess to love so much. Reflect their qualities and maybe this could be a more civil dog club.
