Corrupting the elections season is in full swing at LWV. We all saw how PCM/GRF, HK&C, Racobs Fiorie and Powers, THIRD MUTUAL, Third mutual board members, United Board and Friends of the Village all merrily interfered in and manipulated as many ways as they could with the recall election. In spite of their best efforts they could not hold the vote to recall below 40%. Then United went and pushed out their election schedule in hopes of finding anybody willing to step into the web of horror to serve as a board member. People running for that board should look at the little bonus they are getting by having the election put off a bit: They don’t have to serve 3 full years. They get a little time chopped off their sentence because of diddling the system.
Now GRF/PCM wants to put the GRF/PCM election off because they want the new (United) board members to help vote in the next puppet for PCM to manipulate. How can GRF/PCM hope to have more malleable members on United than are there now? I think Third’s present M&C chairman can probably be seated so he can start his mindless, baseless obscenity spewing diatribes right away. Could it be that PCM and the gang have been too busy putting out fires to pull it together enough to have an election in any kind of normal order?
Boards are to remain “AT ARM’S LENGTH” during the nominating and election processes. Why, then, is the Moorshley so involved with hands on interference in the Third election process. Is it because the Moorshley was to have appointed a nominating committee at the second meeting after last year’s annual meeting or as soon after that as practical and to that entity “practical” is 6 weeks before the election itself? The Moorshley managed to turn all the suggestions for appointees to the nominating committee to GRF/PCM to use for THEIR nominating committee completely ignoring what any Third director said about who was being suggested for which committee. Typical the Moorshley behavior: do what you want, keep the board in the dark, tell the constituents nothing. Spend their money; never let them in on why. It’s all about MONEY, MONEY, MONEY.
Now the Moorshley has appointed yet one more unsuccessful candidate for the GRF election last year to a new post. The loser Mark Stein, lost his attempt to be seated on the city council this year. Now he’s been appointed to “be in charge” of the Meet the Candidates program which is to be televised on Thursday. The Moorshley made it clear that the BOARD would vet the questions to be asked of the candidates although we all know that the entity means the Moorshley and The General Manager. The sure don’t want any REAL issues to come up. Stein isn’t even on the nominating committee which has been and should be in charge of this event. He’s just another has-been put in charge of a vital process because the president can’t be bothered to FOCUS and do any standard pre-planning. As much thought went into this decision as did her appointing the nominating committee. She’s grabbing at limp leftovers to do new work. OBVIOUSLY SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND OR EVEN CARE TO UNDERSTAND THE ELECTION LAWS AND PROCEDURES. She’s just reflecting her brother board, United, and taking orders from masters.
