I for one want to know why charges haven't been brought against the ones who have so blatantly broken the rules. I mean why do we have them if they are not being followed or enforced? Some of the members of the board ( and I said some ) seem to be making rules up as they go along. For a very long time it seems chaos is the major rule of thumb for the board and the more chaotic the better. As Margy put it they seem to be getting bad advice from this parliamentarian ( that person needs to go or reread the Policies and Procedures and the rules again! ), and bad advice from other higher ups on the board ( the clix ). As I see it the rules and the procedures are there to be followed and not interpreted to mean some thing else for the benefit of the ones who are breaking them which is what is happening. I for one and going to make very careful choices of who I vote for and will be doing allot of research to make sure my vote is an educated and well thought of one. If someone on the board who is running for reelection wants my vote they need to convince me that they are worthy of it. For those of you who are running for the first time the same goes for you. No more voting for the recognizable name or your good friend. If they want to be on the board they better bring their A game.
