Recently one of the Admins for the Linn County Republican Central Committee Facebook Group was removed.
The REASON for removal given by the Webmaster was:
Per the Exec vote and policy I removed her again. Perhaps you need to discuss this with Bill.
This has come as a surprise to other members of the Communications Sub-Committee, those of us who actually attend the Sub-Committee meetings.
I feel I must mention here the complaint the Webmaster makesbout our meetings is that the Starlite, where we have our meetings, has a bar.
Oddly enough, this fact does NOT prevent him from attending meetings of the Organization Sub-Committee at the Lone Star Steakhouse which has an even larger bar right beside the room where the meeting usually takes place,
But it is foolish to expect moral consistency from someone whose logic would be better used in the ground inspiring turnips.
Another puzzle was this supposed Exec vote and policy.
Turns out this happened at one of the Exec/Advisory Board meetings
A meeting where there was NO Quorum of Executives therefore NO, repeat, NO Legal Vote could be taken by the Executives.
The rest of the meeting was the Advisory Board.
Have I explained to you the meaning of the term Advisory?
SO it would appear that while the Chair of the Communications Sub-Commitee was out of town,
A meeting took place that could not LEGALLY make any decisions, and a decision about how the Communications Sub-Commitee should be run was made??
Leaving aside the small little detail that the Executive Board, even if it had a Quorum, has NO Legal Authority to issue orders to the Central Commitee or any portion of it, this is almost a Classic Example of a Star Chamber Meeting.
From the Linn County Republican Party Constitution
VIII. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The Executive Committee shall consist of the Chair, Co-Chair, Secretary and Treasurer of the
Linn County Central Committee. The Executive Committee shall transact the routine business
of the Linn County Central Committee during the interim of the meetings of the Linn County
Central Committee. Any business transacted or action taken shall be reported to the Linn
County Central Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting. 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.
it is also another example of the Pattern of Behavior by the Chair of ignoring inconvenient items as Constitutions, ByLaws and Rules of Order.
