As an aside, Town Hall meetings were traditionally run by the Board of Directors. The GM began running them only after Bob Thompson became GM. There is a board motion, passed some years back, saying the board itself shall hold at least three Town Hall meetings a year.

Asking for non-binding votes on some key issues in the election process might be a good idea, but I'd rather spend the money on a separate mailing of such an approach is deemed a good idea, or maybe the assessment package. However, surely you realize the questions asked would be political. 

Look at OPA's website. It is primarily a sales brochure. The GM operates on a policy of See nothing wrong; say nothing is wrong, listen to nothing wrong. 

I believe you addressed this conflict between the board and the GM during the Candidates Forum. You said something to the effect that this political battle would go one with each elections cycle.

You are correct. However, given board members are elected and the GM is a board employee, if the GM remains a political lightning rod dividing the community, what do you think most reasonable people totally outside the community would see as the solution?
