Well I blew that math explanation and David Chung
PWND
Me Big Time
I was
WRONG
So what you do is pick yourself up dust your self off and go on,
But a person needs to OWN their Mistake,.
I will put David's Comment at the bottom of this post it is too easy for for folks to overlook
I want to thank David for showing me my error but I ALSO want to thank him for
Reaffirming THIS
My memory may be faulty here but I think I was the author of both sections of the bylaws that you cite
"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."
You can count on me bringing this up when needed,

| Comment: | As a mathematician, I have to differ with the way you have applied formal logic to the bylaws. I would have done it this way: Checks in excess of $500.00 and not previously budgeted shall have the approval of the County Central Committee. A - Check > 500 B - Previously budgeted C - Requires LCRCC Approval The statement formally is then: A and not B --> C I don't think I can paste an image here so this is the link to the resultant truth table: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=truth+table+A+and+not+B+implies+C To simplify the truth table: 1) Checks less than $500 do not requre the explicit approval of the committee 2) Checks that have been previously (regardless of amount) budgeted do not requre the explicit approval of the committee 3) Checks that over $500 that have not been previously budgeted do requre the explicit approval of the committee My memory may be faulty here but I think I was the author of both sections of the bylaws that you cite "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." and "Checks in excess of $500.00 and not previously budgeted shall have the approval of the County Central Committee." As the author of both of these sections (or at least as a participant in their drafting) I will assert that the application of formal logic in this case is in every way consistent with the original intent when these items were drafted.
