Everytime something comes along, some members want to take a vote.
It cost about $1,000 in postage to have the membership vote. It also takes at least two volunteers to accept and count the votes.
As a former elections chairman through two elections, I can tell you less than 1/3 of the members even bother with returning the ballots.
So roughly 700 vote, 400 yes on the BF, 300 no on the BF. Would that give you any idea of what the entire membership think about the BF?
We elect officers to make decisions.
