Also, can anyone tell what the publish date was for the following agenda?

Titles of a topic tell people little. For example "Grievance Process." What do they propose changing? What will and won't be put to vote? Etc. How can members have an opinion on whether or not to support the change when AMA doesn't even give them an overview of proposed changes? Again, they do this so it's only AFTER the EC votes do members find out details.
Another example, "Education." Are they proposing a change to budget? Proposing change to priorities? What? Again, members know NOTHING until AFTER the EC votes. But as I've said, the cabal in Taj-Muncie does this deliberately to keep members in the dark. Every time they make it harder to get info, it has the effect of more people choosing to not make the extra effort. Therefore, fewer opinions contrary to what Hanson/Budreau want to do.
In the end, the EC voted on NINE motions. I count four (motions I - IV) that aren't even listed above. Two strategy items (V and VII) that will drive spending into the future. One (VI) to change policy. One to spend members money at Taj-Muncie (IX), and another of unknown long term financial impact (VIII).
And NOT ONE of them is readily knowable - in detail - until AFTER the votes were cast. It's deliberate - Hanson & Budreau deliberately keeping members in the dark.
