We have up to this point mainly discussed the various portions of the County Constitution, ByLaws and Rules of Order that our Chair has trampled upon.
I have tried to explain why this should matter to folks.
It seems like this pattern is to some extent endemic.
We have periods where the Executives respect the Rights of the Committee. See themselves as Trusted Servants not Rulers.
Then we have the Inverse. Those who must control every aspect and ignore totally Constitutions, ByLaws and Rules of Order as if they did not exist.
Sometimes it seems that these things become what that they want them to be and not what they are.
I was told recently by one of the Chairs of a Subcommitee that the Chair informed them that they HAD to change their Charter.
That the portion where they report to the Full Committee should be replaced with report to the Secretary and the Chair,
That this was IN The ByLaws!!
People the ByLaws comprise a page and a half. I have read them numerous times there is nothing in them that remotely resembles that claim.

You might think that if someone needs such total control there might be some benefit they could show us.
Some record of Sucess that in some eyes justify the total violation of all our Rules of Order?
But I am afraid that the record for the LCRCC this year is a lot like that of the Light Brigade.
Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
"Forward, the LCRCC!
Yes this year we have had all the sucess of a brigade of light calvary charging emplaced cannon.
In good years we have had vibrant enthusiastic meetings with healthy numbers.
We are down to a half or so.
We have had in the past very sucessful events and fund raisers.
We did nothing for 7 months and then the last 5 months of the year?
We had an event every other month two of them at the peak of an election cycle.
Not sure that was effective scheduling.
I did not attend the First one.
I was offered over time in an air conditioned factory versus an outdoor event in August.
Nope. I stayed inside
The Second was the Chili Cook Off that USED to be in the Spring and in the past was a roarinig sucess,.
Attendance of a hundred almost two.
But we moved it to the Fall,
We also moved it to the Victory Office so along with a Disasterous Event we could interfere with their work while at the same time packing everyone in like sardines.
I think the 5 tickets I bought was 1/6th of their gross.
Then there was the Christmas Event where we rattled around in a room we have in the past packed,
Great speakers and guests they were about 1/6th of the attendance.
Folks we really need to find someone who knows what they are doing and is also willing to let the Commitee do the Job it has done so well in that past.
If this keeps up we will be back to where we were a few years back
Dead broke and almost empty rooms
