Re: Voting Recommendations

Irene,

Not only did the election committee know about Matt's recommendation page,

they also approved it. Also, you fabricating LPA finance's was the real slap in

the face.

> Kudos and many thanks to Mayeaux for pointing out the egregious act of

adding the incumbents' recommendations in the election ballot. This is supposed

to be a neutral election pamphlet, not a campaign tool. As far as I'm concerned,

this act really crossed the line of impropriety.

printer? I can't imagine the committee would have approved such an obvious

misuse of the election process.

That was a blatant abuse of power. Who else had access to the entire

LPA database, all of it's voting members and it's printing funds? I

also questioned (unfortunately in a private response) if the Election

Committee knew of this insertion (perhaps a question can

answer, since he seems to be volunteering) or was it a last minute

desperate move. With all of the blank space available, you would

think in 'fair play' someone representing the opposition would have

been given a chance to voice an opinion.

REMINDER!

Ballots MUST be postmarked by June 15th, that's Tuesday.

Go Tricia!!!
