As to your irresponsible commentary --

The "policy" to which you (and Joe) refer doesn't exist and, so far as I know, has never existed in any Board resolution or any other formal or informal OPA document. I believe Joe's reporting, apparently from a source no longer residing in OP (Daly), is that it was discussed perhaps at a closed session, at which no OPA or Board "policy" could ever be adopted and for which there are no minutes.

I, as general counsel of OPA, have no awareness of this purported "policy." To the extent that it ever did exist in a prior era as some kind of informal understanding among Board members, and I have no awareness of this, all of those Board members are gone from the Board. 

With that as factual background, you suggest that, because you demand they do so, the current Board (none of which sat on the Board when Daly purportedly reported his so-called "compromise" to Joe Reynolds) must now publicly and formally "disavow" this purported hearsay of a closed session discussion from years ago, in which they had no involvement, could not have had any involvement, and therefore could have no direct knowledge.

And when they satisfy you on that silly demand, what will be the next silly demand they must leap to satisfy?

Nonetheless, Rick Farr's post in this thread makes perfectly clear where he and the Board stand on this (phantom) issue.

But, in any event, do not attempt to run and hide from what you were irresponsibly suggesting in your initial post. By "recommend[ing] to any company that applies for the [F&B] 'job' that they make it known that they too will provide free food and booze to the board members who make the decisions re awarding contracts," you plainly inferred (without basis) that the current Board is engaged in conduct you further characterized as "bribery or graft." You have and had no basis to make such a suggestion, and your follow up post does nothing to course correct.

I will close by saying (to any readers of your off-base post) that the RFP process, spearheaded by General Manager John Viola, is being conducted professionally and with full intention to objectively review and consider all RFP submissions, and to make considered and careful decisions in that regard that will further the best interests of OPA and its members. I know that GM Viola is working hard, with the support of the Board, to carry out this RFP process as professionally as possible.
