TM flunked her "sensitivity to poc issues for ignorant white people" class she was bragging about in her campaign interview.
If a poc says they feet unsafe, check your fukking privilege and back off and ask why.
Psst, all this talk about doxxing didn't do you any favors.

Mitchell whines on Twitter
Well, look what you did to Lynn Fitch! And she was WHITE.
There was a reply Somehow I think the actual statement had more context. Interesting she doesn't post it in full or part. No Twitter update for 4 hours.... aren't the results in?

Results posted www.kboo.fm/blog/75574Mitchell made it so don't know why she's sulking on Twitter. Maybe because her buddy Laurie beat her in votes lol. But Katmeow and Leech made it too...ya know, the ones TM refered to as cowardly or ineffectual or something. Awkward! Not a bad result for team sanity all things considered. Sorry not sorry about your failed mob, TM. Womp womp! |

Out of slightly less than 2,000 voting members TM only got 350? Harsh. It's as if most members don't buy TMs imminent corporatization scare mongering.....
God, I hope for KBOOs sake that's not ALL the membership.

Yesterday's results are very interesting .... Out of slightly less than 2,000 voting members TM only got 350? Harsh. It's as if most members don't buy TMs imminent corporatization scare mongering.....
God, I hope for KBOOs sake that's not ALL the membership.
What an astonishing failure of the KBOTs to get a membership quorum, only 150 in attendance. Remember, membership includes all staff, and all volunteers no matter if they contribute financially or not. Holy Shit, if TM can't raise more than 150 that means either 1) the membership is on to the lies of the KBOTs or 2) KBOO is so far in trouble loosing members that the 150 is more indicative of actual interest in KBOO than the number still on the membership rolls. Remember, no one outside of KBOO is auditing the membership rolls so far as I'm aware. There could be a lot of zombie members inflating the total.
Because the membership quorum was declared to be about 250 members, and KBOO failed to get a quorum, the bylaws clearly state no business can be conducted. I'm sorry, but announcing the results of the election (including allowing anyone to vote yesterday in person) to me looks like a violation of the bylaws. The way it looks to me, if there was no quorum, there can be no business. Election results are part of the business of an annual meeting. At the very least, the election results should be held off until there is a quorum at another membership meeting, or perhaps it's possible for results to be announced during a regular board meeting? Someone who knows procedure better than me and knows relevant statutes can look at this.
The bylaws state that it would take a 2/3 vote of the members PRESENT at a membership meeting to remove a director. So, you have to have 5% of the members ask for another meeting. This gets presented to the board, then they send out notice of a special meeting. If the petition has valid members on it it's enough (there are rules about the date they have to be members to sign the petition) but there are clearly more than 250 that will count. So ... once there is a bod meeting the bod will have to set the date for a special meeting. The meeting date can be set up to 60 days after notice is given, so the bod can delay with that tactic, or do it in 14 days to get it out of the way. It will be interesting to watch the strategy. Again, bylaws say there will have to be a 5% turnout at the special member meeting to have membership quorum, so if TM again fails, then she cannot remove members via this method.
Members of the BOD can resign, so keeping the existing members of the board is crucial. And members of the board can be removed by the board by a majority vote of the board, so every seat matters.
I'd say the election results are invalid. I'd also say that this will drag on through the rest of 2019, if the parties still want to fight over control of KBOO. |

Why not both?
The question of quorum to even conduct legit business is a good one.
This is all still a win against the tinfoil crowd. Theresa Mitchell/Keep KBOO KBOO narrative has been seriously underminded.
Her only hope was a quick win. Otherwise, the longer it drags, the more obvious her scare tactics of imminent financial problems and corporatism are baseless.

Perhaps more evidence Mitchell is a cynical manipulator:
If she knows the bylaws as good as she claims, why hasn't SHE made the point membership meetings must have x number in attendance to do anything?
Answer: she doesn't want that used against her.

Or have any past elections she was involved with called into question.
Come on, the woman barely sneaked a victory of sorts. She's probably is terrified of losing if it was put to a vote again.
Bets she's plotting to hijack the NEXT board meeting?

Another Facebook event, this one hosted by Desiree and as out of touch with reality as the others: www.facebook.com/events/486719858816280/permalink/489146321906967/
At least it's honest about the goal. One comment:
"but more folks than I've ever seen at an Annual Meeting"  ?
Is she as blind as a bat? It was only 150! Mitchell herself said so on Twitter. Jesus.
But nice to see her admit the "evil board who wants to keep power at all costs" recognizes they need to make quorum.
Gosh, hope TM doesn't lose in a recount/reelection. (/sarc)
Does anyone know how that would work?

In normal nonprofits, the annual meeting is a ritual, where everything is done for the sake of fulfilling Oregon State laws that there has to be an annual membership meeting. Normally for KBOO, this is also true. It's hard to get folks to come, so the folks in charge get entertainment, food, etc. KBOO did the same, sometimes there is a speaker of note, sometimes entertainment. It's routine.
Normally, no one really cares if there is a quorum, because who is going to sue their own nonprofit for not making quorum? Normally, the real business is handled by the board anyway. But for this meeting, TM wanted to use the meeting to raise hell, so having a quorum mattered. Yes, more people showed up than usual, but not enough for the TM agenda. Thank goodness. Now to figure out how to control the board meetings so the board can do the business it needs to do. In 2013, KBOO had to hire a facilitator named Brush, to keep the board from fighting within itself. Now it needs a facilitator to protect itself from the angry mob!
When things were crazy in 2013, there was also a very large turnout to the annual meeting. When the folks who wanted change all faded away, the annual meeting and board meetings reverted to their usual low turnout. Until this board realized how rotten things really were and decided it had a duty to do.
PS ... I contacted Ruban and he appreciated knowing there are folks who support change at KBOO. I think all the folks who are trying to move KBOO away from it's toxic past need to know they are appreciated. |
