Dorie: It was set up for the *best person for the job, at the time, to go and serve.* according to..Davy Crockett We have people who have never had a job outside of government...they can't run their own personal lives and finances, yet are running ours! The voters are to blame...they have options, but come election time, they herd to the polling stable blinded in one eye or don't get there at all. Paul Zerby has done a wonderful job and is a person I admire also. Good luck to him! dorie gallagher nokomis REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
