Yesterday we discussed the Check that Should Not Have Been Signed, but Was
Today To Sign Or Not To Sign is the Question.
A few months back after a good deal of debate the Linn County Central Committee voted to establish a method of rewards for volunteer work to promote Absente Ballots.
Due to Time Constraints before the election and also due to the intricacies of present Election Law, the Body gave the Executives Extraordinary Powers.
To wit the gave they Executives Prior Approval to Alter the Wording of the Bodies Motion if there turned out to be any Legal Impediament.
Fast forward to another meeting and the Body was informed that the Treasurer had to have the Co-Chair sign checks because the Chair refused to do so,
One of our members queried the Chair as to the Legality of our Original Motion. The Chair did make a Statement which was put into the Record that NO Illegality was brought forward by the State Ethics Board.
Another Member from the rear of the room brought out as well that the Chair chose not to sign the checks because after discussing the situation with others, they determined the reward program was
NOT A GOOD IDEA.
May I remind our readers of that portion of the Linn County Republican Party Constitution which says
- 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 submit that the Chair did NOT follow the Orders of the Linn County Central Committee
AND that the acts of the Chair (refusing to sign reward checks) was In FACT in Conflict with actions of the Linn county Central Committee.
A situation that appears to be a Pattern of Behavior with this Chair.
To wit they seem to be of the opionion that they should RULE by Fiat rather than be a Servant of the Body as the Constitution and ByLaws require.
Tommorrow's Post will be the Facebook Admin who wasn't there.
