My vote on the revised motion remains no. Indeed this revised motion
begs the questions of precisely *who* will have the authority to incur a
mortgage. The language of the new added paragraph suggests that if this
passes, *someone* will be empowered to select a building and take out a
mortgage on it without any further input from the LNC. That doesn't seem right
to me.<BR><BR>Love & Liberty,<BR>
