Re: What's this?
Found this on the Internet and thought it might have some bearing on this issue. Draw your own conclusions:
"What is the difference between a politician and a public servant?
Politicians are concerned with power. Public servants are concerned with people.
Politicians look at public office as a symbol of prestige. Public servants look at public office as a privilege.
Politicians look at polls and news media to tell them where to stand on the issues.
Public servants stand on principle."

I'm not supporting the guy for election. Just saying that the mismanagement that you attribute to him was a group action. Do we have a roll call vote record that shows how he voted on all of the issues that you condemn him for?
That brings up an interesting question; is the new board being more fiscally responsible and keeping good records of individual votes on issues?

You hit a major part of the problem right on the nail. During his administration we don't have a roll call vote on anything and very few records or postings on Oldstar of the activities of the entire board. We do have several instances of "HIS" censorship alone on Oldstar, not the entire BOD's censorship. Be honest. If you are not supporting him are you against his election or just playing devil's advocate?

I wonder if your opposition is based upon a concern for the people of Colorado or is based on your personal animus toward him and is simply because you don't want to see him achieve a position of prestige. I don't accuse you of that, but am simply wondering.

Not a bit.
I just know he didn't act alone and that the rest of the people who served with him on that particular board of directors share the blame for the shameful things he did.
He shouldn't get all the "credit."
