Thanks a lot Lynda, you just had to bring up our dirty laundry didn’t you!!! Just when I was trying to decide what my second blog should be about
The story on HD33 goes all the way back to the Caucus in January of 2008. My precinct was meeting at McKinley Middle School. I was there to set everything up but had to leave to go run the show at another school where the Central Committee did not have a temporary chair. Before I left to go to the other precinct, I filled out Form A, for Central Committee members, placing myself, my husband and son Jason as members.
When the precinct meeting began MD Wolfgram volunteered to be the temporary chair. He did not fill out the portion of the form to become a member of the Linn County Republican Central Committee.
Conversations began in LCCC meetings regarding the upcoming election for the new executive committee. Apparently, questions arose as to who the voting members of the LCCC were. Some of the Caucus precinct chairs did not make sure that everyone that wanted to be a member of the LCCC signed up, including themselves.
A motion was made in one of the meetings that the voting members would be those people who were listed on the Form A’s as the Chair and Secretary. The motion passed. The document known as Form A was no longer a legitimate document according the LCCC.
That’s where all the fun began. When the special race for HD33 came about we only had 6 people listed as voting members. I was the only voting member that has attended any of the LCCC meetings since the executive committee meeting election. I knew two of the other voters well, one just barely, and the other two, not at all. I was not happy that my house district was not being fairly represented. I wanted every precinct to be represented. I hear just the opposite argument was going on with you guys on the other side of the aisle .
The saga continues…
