Carolyn, bless your heart. Mark’s story is about how Mattila presided over the JBH censure but now he, the vice chair, Gellatly, and Cheney, are all supporting to re-elect JBH. Whomever they vote for is their decision, however when speaking or acting on behalf of the CCRC they should at least pretend to support the censure vote. Surely you can understand why people are upset with the message this is sending? The PCO’s have to explain this to the people they represent. It is clear you trust everything Mattila says and does., however,it is much more than a minority of PCO’s that want to understand Mattila’s rationale and so far he is silent.

It is true that Mattila rejected the 1st VP of CCRW. I am that rejected PCO applicant. Mattila could not or would not give me a sound reason for the rejection except to say that I am suspected to align with those who basically disagree with him. His rejection is in violation of the resolution adopted by the Central Committee in that he had to respond to applicants within 30 days of a submitted request for appointment AND he had to provide a reason for the rejection.

On the 30th day, I was presented a list of 7 loyalty questions that he required I answer in order for him to reconsider his desicion to “pass” on my appointment. They are questions that no one who is elected to office has to answer. They are questions that no one who is to be appointed should have to answer. If these questions are critical criteria to determine an applicant’s merit, then it should be on the application for appointment.

Joel Mattila has assumed the mantel of a dictator. Out of spite and self interest he is not going to appoint the best qualified applicant to Precinct 965, along with 19 other precincts where others have also applied. He will let these precincts go unrepresented and will only appoint those who agree to be his flying monkeys and vote the slate he prescribes.

In December when the Central Committee meets to elect new leadership, the Mattila administration should prepare to be cast aside.

You are not a Republican. That makes you a fraud.

This is clearly, shoot the messenger, response. Please address that the Chairman rejected the 1st Vice President of the Women’s Republican Group to try and appoint JHB’s Mom. Is that true or not, regardless of who publicly calls out Mattila .

So Carolyn, does that mean you will no longer gather your friends to walk out on meetings to break quorum? Professionalism?
