These have been cut and pasted from lakemartin.org. I am no lawyer, but I would like for someone to explain to me where this gives the Board such broad lattitude to write letters to government officials on behalf of the "memebership" without it have been brought before the membership for a vote. I have read it twice, and I come away with the conclusion that it in fact does the oppisite. I certainly don't see where it gives the board carte blanche to write letters purporting to represent 'all stakeholders'.
I think Uncle Sam said it best, the interests of the few being conducted using the numbers and the finances of the many.
