[Lnc-business] Proposed

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

It is already all of our jobs to fundraise.  Pay expenses? Certainly.
Salary?  No.

I volunteer - expenses only.

Seriously after the shitstorm last year for legitimate fundraising it’s all
of a sudden different because it’s Nick and with salary?  I was in danger
of (ridiculously) of bribing votes with t-shirts but this is okay?

Is Nick re-running?  Would there be no using of a salaried position to
influence internal politics?

I’ll say it right now, then every chair candidate must be given equal
opportunity.
