Two, that they do this from the shadows, as anonymous comments. <BR/><BR/>Ralph will have to speak for himself as to what he did or didn't agree to. I do know, that if I had contacted an attorney over such an obvious issue, and in three weeks plus, didn't get an answer, I'd get me another. Secondly, I would have announced the action taken to the community at large, rather that the apparent few insiders that either share accurate information, or in fact are guessing.Bay Viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760942927620035881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10432089.post-25073839137877251162008-07-30T14:47:00.000-07:002008-07-30T14:47:00.000-07:00Better check with Ralph because he might of agreed...Better check with Ralph because he might of agreed to have the Chamber seek legal advice and would go along with whatever that decision was. Have you spoken to any of the Board members since they met on this? Don't you think it would be a good idea before you used rhetoric such as felony and fraud? Seems to me like you might be overstepping.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10432089.post-4511123210834937032008-07-29T19:59:00.000-07:002008-07-29T19:59:00.000-07:00"....Money with them is nothing but trash when it ..."....Money with them is nothing but trash when it is to come out of the people.

That the term "proceeds" was misunderstood is a literary event, not interpretation of law. Those issues were addressed 15 years ago when the raffles were first started by Liz Justus and Lorraine Landwehr, a CPA, and obviously qualified to set it up lawfully. Newcomers that do not pay attention to what has gone before, are re-inventing the wheel, and spinning them as well.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, I wouldn't worry about the mud reaqching me. Unlike most of you, I sign my name to all of my writings, rather than lash out from the shadows, and a substantial amout of mud has found it's way to me already. <BR/><BR/>This whole situation and the way I am handling it is about principle, not popularity.I couldn't sit still for the shenanigans that were going on behind closed doors. Remember, I didn't create this situation, I just shined light on it. The day of shooting the messenger when the message is unpleasant, is long past. Concentrate on the initial problem, and how/who created it, not the voice of many residents howling in protest.Bay Viewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16760942927620035881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10432089.post-40533296412356757492008-07-27T09:51:00.000-07:002008-07-27T09:51:00.000-07:00Glad to know you have a law degree and can sit in ...Glad to know you have a law degree and can sit in judgement over this process. It is my understanding that the state is making a determination and that mud will be smeared pretty evenly over everyone's face.<BR/><BR/>At least someone is finally doing something to ensure the Chamber follows the rules when it comes to the managing donated money. Oh, I don't think that person is you Herb.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait for the next Chamber meeting. Should be good for attendance. Don't we all love slinging mud until it hits us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
