Again, I don't have a problem with the election procedure that was in the Oct.9 E-alert. The by-laws are clear on that. My concern is with the nominating procedure and the vote that is to be in by Nov.6th. It appears to me that any nomination by a comissioner would be at a severe disadvantage compared to the other candidates. Also, the time frame outlined does not give commissioners the opportunity, as a group, to familiarize themselves with the candidates and their positions on the issues. That communication also gives the candidates the much needed opportunity to make their intentions known to all the commissioners. Without that opportunity, misconceptions and rumors cannot be explained or dispelled.

Does anybody know when the SORC telephone conference is to take place?

Where did the Nov. 6 @ 4pm (est) deadline come from? I realize the importance of

getting this done as soon as possible, would Nov. 13th be unreasonable?

[Big Don]

I heard the conference call was last night. Any truth to that?

I think it's on for tonight

[Matt Dagostino]

Troy is right...................

The 'CALL' was tonight and we elected Troy as the new Chairperson!! Hope you are up for the job big guy!! Don't forget the wetbar in the new trailer.

Good night!

[14J]

Good night?? You bet.

The YANKEES are 3 outs away! (Hope the premature excitement doesn't bite me)

Troy, is it true you ran on a platform of "a six-pack in every cooler"?

Troy, is it true you ran on a platform of "a six-pack in every cooler"?

Yes, as well as a wet bar in every trailer and strippers on blow out days. Vote for Troy! (Less politics, more fun)
