Well written Steve, pretty simple and to the point, maybe you should post MORE than twice next year | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Well, I usually limit myself to two posts to this site a year, but I am hearing from friends that my ‘free booze’ post ruffled a lot of feathers. Wonder why. My post was a response to the forum eblast, and comments were based on the info that Joe Reynolds himself provided in said e-blast. Sure, I added a satirical touch, but that’s only because the fact that the board hasn’t disavowed (as far as I know) the practice of board members receiving ‘gratuities’ (free stuff) from OPA contractors deserves to be mocked and condemned. Also, as I stated in my post, any member who has in fact received ‘free stuff’ from the Matt Ortt Company should recuse themselves from the vote on contract renewal . . . that is just plain and simple common sense. So in light of Joe’s expose’ re free food/drinks, is anybody gonna ask each board member - - before the vote - - if they have received free stuff at any Matt Ortt bar? Maybe Tom Stauss will ask. Speaking of Joe’s expose’, in my 25 years in Ocean Pines I’ve never heard anything so ludicrous as former Board member Daly’s “compromise” . . . is that still board policy? Or have current board members been instructed that they are not to have their checks comped at Matt Ortt places? If board members are drinking/eating for free at Coastal Salt for instance, will they be required to recuse themselves from the upcoming Matt Ortt Company vote? If the ‘Daly policy’ has changed, I stand corrected and it’s case closed, and I thank all those who volunteer their time to serve on the board. Otherwise, if the freebee policy has not been disavowed I agree with Joe Reynolds on this one point . . . General Manager Viola should call the shots on the Ortt renewal. BTW, my comments were criticizing a POLICY, not individual board members. Steve Lind |
