I love discussing policy and DD is right, up to a point. The point is, that Mister Oaksun is running on a platform to do things he, as Treasurer can’t do.

The Treasurer tracks the money and gives advice, but doesn’t set policy.

Opine away, but James’ missive sounds like a Chair’s campaign statement, not a Treasurer’s.

But what you are describing is the job of Chair or Director, not Treasurer. The Treasurer doesn’t set this kind of policy, so you very well may want to choose a different office to run for, James.

If LNC Treasurer Aaron Starr and LNC Secretary Bob Sullentrup get to opine and vote on LNC policy — and they do — then surely a candidate for LNC Treasurer can opine on LNC policy as well.

OTOH, I’d encourage folks to read the Virtual Galt website. I’m underwhelmed.

What you say makes a lot of sense. But what you are describing is the job of Chair or Director, not Treasurer. The Treasurer doesn’t set this kind of policy, so you very well may want to choose a different office to run for, James.
