I am voting NO on the proposed bylaw amendment proposition two.Last year the membership voted by a significant majority to tighten the qualifications for being on the board. There were good reasons for those concerns.
If passed as proposed Prop 2 would allow an IBEW member to be on the board.
It would also allow a board member or board member's relative to be doing up to $250,000 of business with our coop. That is a lot of money and I think our members had it right last year when they set the threshold at $10,000.
Voting yes on Prop 2 would allow MEA to knowingly open the door to legal corruption that will be a lot more costly than $250,000. That would all be paid for by your electric bill.
A constituent has pointed out that the the wording under section e of proposition 2 requires that we submit a positive hair sample!
