Howard since you brought the AOS finances and other matters in to the fray,
Could you be so kind as to get Mr. Bronstein and Mrs. Eloe to answer these
questions:
- Since you two are members of the Board of Trustees and the Executive
Committee:
Did you vote for or against construction of the new HQ in Delray Beach?
Did you vote for or against the budgetary lines relating to Conservation
and Education?
Did you vote for or against the raise in members fee and the rise in
show fees?
Did you vote for or against the ending the publication of Lindleyana?
-Are the headquarters building and greenhouses and gardens what you expected
they would be?
- If elected, what would be the first three things you would change in the
AOS?
- It has been stated by some of the proponents of your candidacy that, Lee
Cooke should be released from his contract. Do you agree with this position?
Can either of you estimate how much releasing Lee Cooke from his contract
would cost the AOS?
-Andy Easton has alleged that Howard Bronstein interfered in personnel
matters at AOS as EVP and he made a formal complaint to Lee Cooke about
threats made to him by Howard Bronstein. Care to comment?
-Since the inception of your candidacy, several of your supporters have
argued that you, Mr. Bronstein were the victim of homophobia, and
anti-Semitism on the part of the Executive Committee.
Do you support those charges?
Do you believe that Taylor Slaughter was nominated on the basis of a
conflict of interest and is not worthy of nomination as it has been
insinuated by some of your supporters?
- Do you believe that Robert Griesbach is a liar and a crook as stated by
Christenson, in an email sent to the www.aosmebers.org site that was widely
distributed all over through the net? And, since you are sensitive about
homophobia and gay bashing, do you agree with the statement by Christenson
regarding an AOS employee?
- Do you agree with the assessment of David Grove, published in
various Forums regarding the management of the AOS by the last two AOS
Presidents?
- What was your position when Jim Rassmann was bumped from the
Executive Committee rotation? Why your silence then?
- And finally, Mr. Bronstein what is the origin of the animus toward
Jim Rassmann? There are so many rumors regarding this, we would like to know
your take.
