I also recall, as put forward by Ray Unger, Board members would personally develop their rapport with our elected officials and request Ocean Pines participation in revenue sharing. This is exactly the manner in which I believe we have the best chance in obtaining the most revenue sharing from slots. Thank you. I believe the least chance we have is to participate in confrontational politics, lose the battle, and then expect to get a fair share. Your course of name calling and confrontation will do just the opposite of what we want IMO. I would really like to see the discussion and observe the Board members and listen to their individual rationale for changing their collective minds. Here, I agree with you. We did not discuss this at all, but sent our position to the Board. I guess someone decided to send it out as a press release. If consulted, I would have chosen to discuss it at a meeting. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Marty, The board found that your plan does not work. I had no plan, just a very strong opinion along with a number of other property owners. I thought the Board majority concurred with those opinions and voted to aggressively pursue a share of slots revenue. The plan as I recall was for Reid Starrett to take the lead and contact personally and via the mail our elected officials while conferring with the other Board members. I also recall, as put forward by Ray Unger, Board members would personally develop their rapport with our elected officials and request Ocean Pines participation in revenue sharing. I have not attended any recent Board meetings and I don't recall any meeting agenda on slots revenue since the Board passed Reid's motion. I've tried to look at the meeting videos and did not see anything on slots. Maybe I just missed it. Please let me know where I review the meeting when Board discussed slots and changed the plan. I would really like to see the discussion and observe the Board members and listen to their individual rationale for changing their collective minds. Norm |
