Evan, I too read the BOG, came away with the "HUH?" feeling...maybe it's a blonde thing, lol Feeling more and more like a mushroom, in the not terrible grand scheme of things that is the PC.....and you and I believe it or not, lol agree..."the board needs to talk to people...before they make (big) decisions" This is currently what our US Govt is doing, NOT informing, making unilateral decisions, because, "its good for us". When is "us" going to be let in on it before the fact...on any level, of any organization? Especially THIS one.
