April 29, 2012 - Comments on the April board meeting...

042912-Meeting Agenda  

The board majority who used a state law to remain in their seats until their terms were over are now asking that the law be ignored and all the trustees be elected at the same time this coming Oct/Nov. And they are all planning to run again. Make sure you read the article below entitled, "When do the trustee terms end?"posted under the related video and under "Annual Meeting Commentary. The trustees have no hesitancy in doing illegal things that they know will be challenged in court because they are not paying the bills. The members are bearing that cost in addition to the burden of a board that is the laughing stock of the nation.

This is an open attack on Trustee Wagner and the trustees having taken their "beating" at the polls will stoop to any lows to get their revenge. Two of the three Socorro trustees that will remain after this year will each be representing 662; Wagner will be representing 1996. Fairness would dictate that two of the three should resign but when did fairness ever have a chance with this board. Watch the tape!

And watch the three tapes from the "Public Comments" Section of last Wednesday's meeting.

The first tape starts with the request for an investigation into the awarding of a trip to Washington D.C. and the chaperons for the trip. The Youth Tour is an excellent national program and should not be sullied by questionable procedures. And there are many questions about the procedures.

The first clip on the second tape will blow you away. A SEC staff member addresses the board and members in the audience as a SEC member/owner. It is her right to do so and listening and watching the venomous and largely inaccurate (that Messiah bit was way over the top) attack on the members, letter writers and Trustee Wagner will make you glad that she was speaking as a SEC member/owner. It was 7 minutes, 27 seconds of a rant (public comments are limited to 2 minutes) that will make you hope that when she steps into the SEC office, all the spite will dissolve and she will act with fairness and honor. Judge for yourself.

The third clip is "Interconnect Comments" and involves a looming controversy with the people who have installed solar and earned RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates). It is very important that members stay on top of this issue as it has significance for their dealings with SEC management.

Just in case you are getting the idea that this board meeting could have been named "Open season on Charlie Wagner, " you are correct and there is more to come.
