[Lnc-business] Announcement of Vacancy Filled on Convention Oversight Committee

[Sam Goldstein]

As much as I like and respect Jim Turney, the Chair has no authority to 
make a unilateral appointment to the COC.  The COC clearly indicated to 
our Chair last night that we were postponing any possible vacancy 
appointment until the LNC determines if there actually is a vacancy with 
the current pending motion to overturn the ruling of the chair.

It is very unfortunate that the Chair did not advise Mr. Turney that his 
appointment might be controversial, he was certainly taken aback when I 
communicated with him today.

I wish the Chair would just stop playing stupid power games and let us 
get on with the planning of the convention.  He has already stated that 
he will not do his duty by presiding so he should just abdicate any 
other responsibilities and let those who care dearly about this party 
proceed as planned.
