[Lnc-business] Website/twitter concern

Thu Jun 27 02:53:58 EDT 2019

The motion I am considering would include
1. Deleting the tweet
2. Directing the Executive Director to rewrite that text on the page and
submit to the LNC for final approval/amendments.  I would normally say
submit to APRC but since we have decided it is a black hole from which no
information can emit and members deserve to be privy to the resolution on
this, the LNC it is.

I am not inclined to support any kind of forced apology.    It is a
difference of opinion and there is no malice.  Forced apologies are
generally useless.  I just would like to have this corrected.  I have zero
interest in a pound of flesh.  This is about party messaging not any kind
of sin of moral turpitude.
