Yes, we've found the problem. The problem was poor management. These "rules" were designed to be flimsy and left to interpretation. What was needed was quantifiable standards which are applied equally. But what we got was favoritism and bullying. When one vendor asked that another be held to "good fellowship", they were ignored. The market manager many times refused to even attempt to resolve grievances, but had knee-jerk reactions to others. The Board made it perfectly clear that they were not interested, and had other business to attend to. I was told that, point blank. That is exactly why some vendors wanted to have more voice in the managing of the market.
Now back to the more important discussion, wherein StillHope raised another good question. There are going to be more neighborhood meetings, on neutral ground, where members of the immediate community who were not present (for multitude reasons) will have an opportunity to discuss their hopes and concerns.
