After months of hush-hush whispers and rumor over various parts of the community it would appear that the not-so-secret is finally out in the open. There is a drive to fire Milt Johns and the only board members it doesn’t include are Ruth May, Isabel Muennichow, Mary Robertson, Bea McArthur, John Dalis, Gail McNulty, Arlene Miller, Marv Rosenhaft, Marty Rubin, Paul Vogel, Linda Wilson. These dissenting directors and their ELOQUENT letter to the Disbros must be the end result of almost non-stop meetings between Marv and Ruth May. I particularly loved the last line where we were informed that there were some board members “not available to sign”. Doesn’t matter, Marv, you corporate genius, you, they DIDN’T sign the third grade level missive. OH, maybe you are right in making it so simple….you do have to have the GRF board and PCM understand what is being said. Then you had to be able to explain it to those who signed it.
It stretches across all boards including GRF. As Mike Curtis asked in a recent e-mail “Is this payback for Milt providing access to facilities and staff support as part of the NO on Recall?” These pro-Milt signatories are the same directors so adamantly pushing against the recall. It is interesting that these people are the ones who made this go public.
Unfortunately, Carol Moore doesn’t seem to be able to figure out that a GRF Corporate board meeting can be called and it can take place no matter where it is held, who is in attendance and it doesn’t depend on the good offices of PCM or the Great Pale Grub of a president His Onerous Erwin Stuller. Call the stupid thing and MEET. No need to wait with baited (sic) breath for somebody else to do the work. Here’s the By-law:
5.3 CALLING SPECIAL MEETING OF CORPORATE MEMBERS A Special Meeting of Corporate Members may be called by: The President; or by any two GRF officers; or by a resolution approved by a majority of the Board of this Corporation; or by a resolution approved by a majority of the Board of a Corporate Member.
Let’s see, a majority of the board of a corporate member….that would be THIRD or UNITED or TOWERS or GRF…..it ain’t rocket science, Tootsie. Mooreshly manages to call plenty of closed Third meetings held at John Paulus’ rec room (5515 Paseo Del Lago West) at a time when that entity knows full well there will be certain board members unable to attend and thus de facto depriving them of their voices. Have all those meetings been conducted for the purpose of removing Milt or have yet even more topics which should be on the agenda for open session?
I have to ask this question: Who is in charge around here? Is it the mutual boards or PCM? Take a good hard look and tell me.
Bottom line. FIRE PCM. DISBAND GRF AND HIRE A REAL TRUSTEE.

You know, it still galls me that the No on Recall movement was run by Third Mutual residents, advisors, and especially directors. A member of Third cannot always get into a United meeting, but Third directors can tell everyone in United how to vote on their own recall movement. I saw recently that Barbara Marsh (FOV and venomous critic of anything not blessed by PCM) called for Mike Curtis to act civily and graciously. How about calling for civility from Mariposr the serpent guardian of the PCM position on the Globe blog. FOV and its Third owner/operators were a success in turning the focus away from issues and onto personalities where the United board spent their time vilifying Curtis instead of addressing issues. The bright spot, well over 40% of the United residents saw through the smoke and mirrors and saw the empty promises of FOV, PCM, and their marionette attack dogs.
ReplyDeleteThe final vote at the recall was a mandate to the United Board and the other boards as well. Will they listen? In spite of the overwhelming outside influences and manipulations at play during the voting process the vote to recall was HUGE. It's all about the MONEY and where it is spent, by whom, for what and what accounting there is or isn't. If the boards don't wake up and get rid of PCM and then disband GRF they both as boards and as individual directors who have allowed the behavior of PCM and GRF and their "advisors" are being held responsible. When all the little old ladies are sitting on the curb with their worldly belongs in brown plastic bags around them and they are wondering what happened perhaps they will finally realize it was about MONEY and who was taking it NOT about the people who were trying to get them to PAY ATTENTION.
