Regardless of what was in her proposal, the position was offered with the restrictions in place. The Board agreed to review them, but there was no promise they would make any changes, and by the time the position was accepted, it had been made clear that there were some Board members who would vote against it and others undecided. She accepted the position and agreed to abide by the restrictions unless they were changed by the Board. And that information did come from some Board members. As for why they didn't change things ahead of time - that's like asking why they scheduled Del Mar on a foggy day or Daytona during a huricane warning - they probably didn't realize it was going to be such an issue until the process was underway. If we ever had any psychic's applying for the Board, it wasn't in their bio's... Janice -------------------- In a message dated 10/27/2006 10:12:09 A.M.

Of course, that starts a whole new discussion as to why her proposal wasn't disregarded as incompatible with the request for bids. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
