BOA strikes against the GSDP again, this time failing to approve the CVB budget for the next fiscal year. The motion to passed failed on a 2-3 vote with (COrey and Cox for) with Davis and McLaurin absent.
Why? Is the Board that ignorant? The public needs to remember actions like these, combined with other failures during this term, when elections rolls around next year.
Starkville needs a group of progressive (not liberal) leaders WHO CAN WORK TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THE COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF THEIR OWN SELF INTEREST.
Not to say that the entire BOA fails in that characterization. There have been flashes of leadership from a few members.
If the GSDP weren’t such a poorly run organization, I would agree with you that they should go ahead and approve the CVB budget, after all, the CVB seems to be about the only branch under the GSDP umbrella that has a clue what it’s doing.
But as long as the current Executive Committee is in place, then the BOA needs to keep denying any requests for funding to any branches of the “Partnership.”
Before we go calling for the heads on the BOA, let’s make sure we get some competent people in place in the GSDP Executive Committee. Who’s got the over/under on how long the new CEO will last? 12 months??? Less?
