For The Good Of The Service

There waa a time if the threat of scandal raised its ugly head an Officer and/or a Gentleman might be presented with a letter of regret and a pistol and be expected to do the

Right Thing

That was a long time ago. Today if someone resigns a position they want to be the one who does the resigning.

They also prefer to survive the resignation,.

It seems that we have a difference of opinion in the LCRCC over a faux-resignatgion.

The Executive Committee seems to be taking the position that the Team Leader for the Membership & Meeting Setup Team has resigned and they have put someone else in the position

HE informs me that he has not nor does he intend to Resign.

We have a quandry.

As a result of the St Patrick's Day Massacre the work of Four Years and Every Single Sub-Committee was abolished,.

The Exective Committee presented to the Body a

MOTION

In the form of a Roadmap to Victory 2016 Plan and the handout and their Statement to the Body was

The Executive Committee moves to accept the following plan for 2015-2016 Election Cycle:

I think it passed by a vote of 25 to 21 not exactly a mandate but close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and thermonuclear warfare.

In a word the Motion Passed

As listed in the Minutes for the March 17 Meeting

Which include the following passage

Passed EXACTLY as it was written in the Handout

NOT as the Handout was Latter Modified.

Membership & Meeting Setup – Membership records, meeting setup, credentialing for voting (Mike Dupree, Deb Dupree, Justin Wasson uncommitted)

One interesting facet of Motions is that after they have been moved, seconded, repeated by the Chair and particularly after they have been PASSED.

They are no longer the Possession of the Mover but of the Body.

I have looked carefully over the orginal Plan that the March 17 Vote was based upon and I see nowhere in it any provision for Modifying that Plan by the Executive Commitee at their sole discretion,

The Teams are now the Possession of the Body of the Linn County Central Committee as the Sub-Committees before them, they Report TO and are under the Authority of the Body.

Again we have that pesky little section of the County Constitution which 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.

And if we want further indication of who advises and who makes decisions we can look at the By Laws for their instructions to the Chair and Co-Chair

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.

Yes they get to ASSIST and they are ASSIGNED matters,

Who do you think they assist and who do you think assigns matters to them?

I understand Mr Wasson will have a more comprehensive exposition of these matters if I should have a copy available. I will post it on this website

Of course if the Executive Committee can present an actual Letter of Resignation then the entiire issue will be Moot.

But there IS an Old Saying

If it's not written down, it didn't happen.

Voting for Who Is the Mystery Writer is Still Open

If you vote for "Other" or already have please put in the comments who you thing the "Other" is.
