Richard: Again, I don't think it is very useful to dig through the past...minuia such as why wasn't the elevator statement posted on the web in 2005, etc. I've already been fired, you can't fire me again.
The fact remains that the statement about Smart Growth has been on the BFW website and in the BFW membership brochure since long before my time at BFW...the graphics and text date from the Jeanne Hoffman years. I can not point to the moment in time when either the statement on the website or the text of the membership brochure was approved by the board...I would assume that the board was consulted at some point in time about both, especially back in the days when Jeanne was starting and the board was more closely involved in operations...but the board has had YEARS AND YEARS to notice and say something about it if they disagreed. It is certainly reasonable for BFW to express its mission in new and different ways, especially if it is seeking a wider base of membership. But it makes bicycle advocates nervous when it appears a change in course is happening to their beloved statewide organization with no real explanation. I don't know if there is an actual change in course or not...but someone at BFW needs to stand up soon and say what they stand for. If that could just happen, I think a great deal of the heated discussion would end. -Dar __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
