On our WTU Executive board- there are members who are lackadaisical for whatever reason. There are board meetings where some on this board read cookbooks, fall asleep and/or abstain when its time to vote or consistently fail to show up instead of taking their responsibilities seriously.The Wash.

Unfortunately a number of the remaining board members have been willing to go along with Parker at any cost.<br /><br />Parker would need a recall to have him removed which is not an easy process.The Wash.
