You are soooo very close in making sense but did you know that boards can make decisions in two ways. 1. By resolution where ALL members sign off on the circulated resolutions, or 2. By holding a meeting where ALL members are notified and then if there is a quorum those present can resolve to take certain actions?
According to John Rolle he was advised that he was appointed to the board but has not heard or seen or met since that time. So, either the other Board members are meeting and not telling him or they are passing around resolutions and not getting his signature. As a board member he is held personally responsible for what happens. Maybe the notifications for the board meetings went to his junk mail and he's just missed a lot? But then I would find it strange that he's the only one missing in a year and none of the other members (and certainly the Chairman) called him to enquire about his lack of participation.
Poor child who got attacked and sad for her parents. Also, sad for the family of the dog who's aged mum is ultimately responsible but unbeknownst did leave the gate open.
The actual owner of the dog (the son) must think long and hard about all the what if's and put more checks in place to make sure this can't happen again. Hopefully we ALL learn from this.
Oh yeee of little brain cells. So full of knowledge now that Halkitis said so little. You seem content that the unaccounted for $700 million is safely held in account that should not exist and is under the watchful eyes of a board that has never met. And that the people who refuse to say where the money is or how it's being invested has our collective interests at heart. The Government of transparency ducks and dodges and refuses to respond with even a semblance of intelligence. It must be so nice to care so little.
I'm truly surprised that this guy didn't have a come to Jesus moment during his speech and just say 'I can't do this no more. I can't stand up in this honorable place and shame myself and my family. We messed up, the money gone and I'm not sure where it is. Please forgive me!'
We put the money in an account for the fund, which we admit has not yet been established and so it doesn't exist but another arm of government managed some of the money so... everything is good - trust us. My LORD we got some seriously dumb people in charge of our finances. And we got the mostest stupidest voters in the country who think that these guys can be trusted.
What a strange way to admit that you didn't follow the law. We didn't break the law but we certainly didn't follow the law. Political speak for 'boy we messed up big time, as should lose our jobs or even go to jail, but we ask everyone to ignore all that because a portion of the hidden money MAY have gone towards improvements'.
