[Lnc-business] Fwd: Investigation of complaint against Arvin Vohra pursuant to LNC Policy Manual Section 2.01(4)

[Elizabeth Van Horn]

Glad to see you owned the censure motion.  The LP members, and the LNC 
board, deserves to know who authors a censure motion that goes to a 
vote.


As for the "actual findings and legal conclusions", of Oliver B. Hall, 
Special Counsel, it's already being discussed for the past hour in my 
Region 3 group, with links the document and anyone can see it. I want  
people to see it, as it shows that a complaint was acted upon.


Regarding the legal counsel document, I wrote this in the Region 3 group 
regarding discussion of the document:

"That document has no bearing on what the LNC can do. It's merely 
stating that in the opinion of legal counsel, the particular complaint 
that Ms. Hamilton did, was deemed not to violate the line items in the 
policy that she used to complain. I agree with the decision by legal 
counsel on that, btw. Ms. Hamilton was making a stretch-at-best, with 
her complaint."
