A Response To Questions From A Poster
As we said we would do from time to time, we will answer questions posed by posted comments. One anonymous poster has asked why we withhold names of the letter writers in the series of letters to the TAMPOA Board we are currently publishing.
Unless asked to do so by the writer, we don't publish the names of these letter writers to the Board because there is no need to do so. (Similarly, Anonymous won't sign his name). The TAMPOA Board knows who the letter writers are since they signed their names to their letters. If Anonymous is who we think, then he must know too.
Anonymous asks what we propose. We have said what we propose to do. If Anonymous had read this blog more carefully, he'd have a clear idea. Obviously we oppose the policies of the current TAMPOA Board. We think they have spent wildly and foolishly on the legal fees. We think they have not carefully checked the legal bills for improper billing. We think they have not been forthcoming with frank and open communication with the TAMPOA members. We think they have given conflicting information to the membership. We think the Board has lost the trust of the TAMPOA membership, and some of the Board members know that. (That's probably why at least one of the two incumbent members is not running for re-election). We do not favor putting in a gate on Southard Street. (Incidently, a number of people who live on Southard Street also oppose the gate). What we have proposed in this blog is a change to all those errant Board policies.
Anonymous a;ready knows this if he has read this blog carefully. However, we're glad he asked the question because it gives us an opportunity to reinforce our proposals for change in the Board's policies.
In the coming weeks as the new Board takes over, there will be a number of new policies being put forward, but only time will tell whether the old hard-liners still on the Board will continue to stymie change and whether the two new Board members will have the gumption to push for change.
