[Occupymendocino] Copy of Gin's letter.

[Mark Safron]

9/21/13

THERE IS A BOARD MEETING FRIDAY.  THAT IS OUR REGULAR "LAST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH" BOARD MEETING.  NO SURPRISES THERE.  

PER ANN RENNACKER'S SALARY STATEMENT:  THE PAYROLL IS $30,000 A MONTH.    I ASSUME SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT.  CHARLES GAVE BACK PART OF HIS SALARY THE FIRST YEAR HE WAS E.D.  THIS HAS NOT CONTINUED.  (DID SHE UNDERSTAND THAT $30,000 TO BE FOR THE YEAR?)

PRESIDENT DID NOT SAY "OCCUPY WILL NOT MEET HERE AGAIN".  THAT IS TOTAL BULL%&*#.  I WAS THERE UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.  THIS IS NOT ABOUT OCCUPY.   THE PRESIDENT TAKES A LOT OF FLACK THAT SHE DOES NOT DESERVE (AND HAS RECEIVED DEATH THREATS).  SHE, AND THE BOARD, BELIEVE THAT OCCUPY SHOULD PAY RENT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE DOES.  (I THINK SO, TOO).  

YOU CAN'T FIRE CHARLES WITH 4 "YES" VOTES.  CHARLES WAS NOT FIRED.  

BOB LEFT BEFORE A VOTE WAS TAKEN.
SYD LEFT AFTER THE VOTE, BUT BEFORE THE END OF THE MEETING.
CHARLES HAD LEFT THE BUILDING BEFORE THE MEETING ENDED.

DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS AS TO WHERE THIS "THE BOARD FIRED CHARLES"  CAME FROM, AND PUT THE BLAME FOR THIS MESS WHERE IT TRULY BELONGS. 

FOR MONTHS, EVERYTHING IN CLOSED SESSIONS HAS BEEN IMMEDIATELY LEAKED TO CHARLES.  AGAIN…PUT THE BLAME FOR THIS MESS ON WHOMEVER LEAKED CLOSED-SESSION INFORMATION.  ALL THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED HAD WE BEEN ALLOWED TO WORK IT OUT IN A SENSIBLE, ORDERLY FASHION.   THIS WAS NOT "WHISTLE-BLOWING" AND DOES NOT DESERVE "GRATITUDE" FROM THE COMMUNITY.  THIS WAS MEAN-SPIRITED, SELF-SERVING AND HAS TORN A COMMUNITY APART.

SHAME ON THE LEAKER AND SHAME ON US ALL.
