The Doctrine of Necessity -- A Quick Note...

Although the Courier and Maria touched on this some time last week, one of my readers asked me to provide an explanation as to what it is and what it does.

I, like many, upon the first read thought the resolution was to prevent the CSA from having a formal and legally required evaluation. Much to my delight it was later explained that this document actually enables the 6 Board members with a conflict to be a part of the yearly assessment. Thereby allowing the Board to meet its contractual obligation.

So – it’s a good thing!

But! (Don’t you just hate that!!!) The question I have is -- haven’t these conflicts existed for quite some years? And if so, was this doctrine evoked during Howard’s tenure and for Gallon last year?

Just to level set – this doctrine is quite often tabled for the same purpose and reason as shared by our Board.

Finally – something that meets the standard!
