Dan, since you are closer than most, I thought you might have some answers to these questions, some of which are being brought up on other websites:
1. Some people are saying that Steve Locke turned his head on this type of electioneering while he had favorable boards but he only became concerned with the current group. Is there any truth to this?
2. Had you heard the Ray Plotecia statement about Ellsworth-Gattis wanting the Executive Director's job?
3. Did Ellsworth-Gattis run as an incumbent against at-large incumbent Buxton instead of being Central region incumbent knowing she would be riding the tactics of Jim Girand and unseat rival Buxton?
4. Was anything promised the elites to make them vote with the majority? Mandy, in her thread, was pissed at Brad and Ray for not including Ellswort-Gattis on the ballot so I'm sure she did not want to vote with them. But she did believe she was voting for each member to handle their own ballot and not the ambiguity of the member being any member of USAT could handle any other members ballot.
5. Since there appears there will be a lawsuit, will Alan Geraldi be the board's attorney since it will be his opinion that will be tested?
6. Why is it that Eric Bean(on Duathlon.com), Mandy Pagon and Jack Weiss(on Slowtwitch) are the only board members with enough guts to, at least, field questions?
