What did that have to do with the price of tea in China or the District Frequency Coordinator?
Obviously, this guy is hanging on in office for strictly personal reasons. What is his compensation package??
According to another EC member I was in communication with the budget for the largest district (based on number of members) was $15,000. This was for District X and was in 1997. McNeill who has a district with almost as many members probably has close to that or more now that 5 years have passed. Not a bad supplement to his wife's teachers pension.
I suspect the main reason that he doesn't appoint a frequency coordinator is that he doesn't have to fund expenses for that individual and can hang on to as much of the money as he can for use at his own discretion - buying votes by giving out free first aid kits, Roberts Rules of Order, medical dictionaries, fire pumps etc. Same reason he keeps elderly modeling widows and inactive modelers on as AVPs. They do nothing that would require any reimbursement in the District.
I pray that the election in 2004 will get some interest from the members in D-V and we can vote this man out of office rather than have him die as a VP and be guaranteed his place in the AMA hall of fame. What a travesty that would be.
