" This is a long overdue bylaw change. There is no reason not to do it. If anyone wants evidence of a power-hungry and overreaching MEA management, look no farther than this ridiculous rule.

Vote to change it, and vote to solidify the change by also voting for Peter Burchell and Janet Kincaid. End the days of cronyism and back-room deals. "

" MEA management nonsense that needs to change. "

" Why wait so long to seat Board members? Its months longer than it takes to seat the President of the United States even, and something tells me the financial disclosure reports are a lot more complicated there. If MEA used to only take 3 days, how did it jump to 4.5 months? "

" I don't care who you are voting for, this makes sense. Why wait 4.5 months to seat new board members when the results are certified in 7 days? MEA used to be able to do all their internal housekeeping like checking the financial statements in just three days (a weekend no less)-because they require weekly reporting during the campaign and are checking it as they go. The drug tests they implemented only take at most 5 days to turn around. So why not go back to seating new members right away? It just makes sense. "
