Sound and Fury were in attendence at the recent Organizational Sub-Committee meeting.
One of the main issues of contention was the placement on the Agenda of the Webmaster as a Committee.
The Webmaster is not has not been a sole Committee the position has been and is a part of the Communications Sub-Committee.
Despite the Central Committee Chair's vehement assertion, those are the facts.
Even if one were to stipulate (which I do not) that such a condition existed in the past, the minute that the Full Central Committee adopted a Charter for the Communications Sub-Committee which put the Webpage under it's authority. any prior condition became obsolete and void, despite any desires of a member of the Executive Board
Because
Our County Consitution states:
The Executive
Committee is subject to the orders of the Linn County Central Committee, and none of its acts
shall conflict with actions of the Linn County Central Committee.
I have had discussions with others who have to me a strange interpretaton of the above. For Me if A is under the Orders of B then A CANNOT give Orders to B.
If anyone can explain how one can be under the Orders of another and at the same time Give Orders to them enlighten me.
In addition to the above our ByLaws state:
A. Duties
1. The Chair shall be the Executive Officer and conduct all meetings of the Central
Committee and assist in the formulation of policies for the conduct of the affairs of the
Republican Party and such other matters as may be assigned.
2. The Vice-Chair shall conduct all meetings in the absence of the Chair and assist in
formulating policies matters as may be assigned
There are two points of importance here the terms
and assist and as may be assigned.
I submit that assist does not mean decide for and tell what to do and that assigned indicates someone instructs THEM as to what they should be concentrating on.
In a later post I will try to present a more comprehensive and detailed exhibition of the responsibilites of the Executive Board as regards the Full Body of the Central Committee.
But for now I think the above is enough food for thought
