Title:
Well, Excuse me!
Text:
For the first and hopefully only time I was compared to Hillary Clinton
yesterday in response of E-mail sent concerning a fax from A.B.C. regarding
the new simple majority law affecting consolidation. Board members and the
director of A.B.C. in the same tone and tact that they accused me of so
blatantly presenting also confronted me.
So maybe I am on to something.
What I question is the timing of a simple majority ballot and the historical
concepts of change for an organization's constitution.
In historical context it takes more then a simple majority to make
sweeping changes. Does it not take a 2/3 vote in congress to over turn a
presidential veto? Does it not take a 3/4-majority vote of states to ratify
an amendment? The reason for these examples is simple: radical changes
demand an overwhelming majority. A simple majority would not suffice. We
are now being asked to consider a similar proposition in our own
organizations but without the aid of the necessary overwhelming majority.
The vast majority of members were under the impression that it would take a
2/3-majority vote in order to make the sweeping changes of consolidation.
Only a few days ago did the majority of members find out that only a simple
majority was needed to execute these changes.
The board members according to their e-mail have also viewed this concept of
2/3-majority vote for consolidation. The general consensus of the board was
that nobody was aware of the state law until a few days ago.
Would not the details of consolidation be affected by the knowledge of a
simple majority vote? I certainly hope so. Up to now everybody has been
playing by a different set of rules. Even the board's decisions have been
framed according to rules no longer in effect. Here lies my problem> THE
RULES HAVE CHANGED! In mid stream no less and nobody on the board seems to
be concerned by the ramifications of the new simple majority.
I do question the timing of this ballot and whether the framing of this
ballot, which is now affected by Delaware State law, was affected by a set of
rules that is now null and void.
REMEMBER ROSWELL!
