You're Fired!

[Katarina]

I am somewhat perplexed by the sudden concern about "conflict of interest" issues. This was brought to our attention at the Special Membership meeting. None of the then newly elected board of 2 months had signed this agreement which is part of their obligation to us members. They had already appointed(not elected) a new office secretary of less qualifications and abilities as the one they fired, had Roseann's husband in the shop taking inventory stating things were missing but in the same breath said there was no inventory and later became the interim GM's assistant with a credit card, and the treasurer was doing our books and was her own over site. This is just a few of the conflicts of interest. Nothing has been done according to the by-laws or State statutes for 10 months. Though I totally agree that with the conflict being discussed, in respect to the other gross conflicts, this one seems pretty low on the totem pole and just another one to add to the very long list of egregiousness. I am pretty appalled at what Watchdog said about Ruth taking over the GM's office. No board member needs an office and to do what? The GM needs to be the one running the show and he can't see if the office staff is performing their duties appropriately in the shop.But Mac Nut,you are probably right. It is probably far friendlier out in the shop. I fear all this craziness will chase off this much needed employee. I have wondered where these problematic board members came from as I don't remember seeing most of them before they were elected. How can the ones who were behind all this cruel chaos rest at night.
