JNS BLOG EXCLUSIVE: "Old Majority" Vice Chair Ben Myers Tells "New Majority" To "Cease And Desist" Or "Legal Action" May Be Taken

"The Rebel Angels"

I am now in possession of an extraordinary letter, dated January 17, 2009, and bearing the emblem of the Jordan Area Community Council. The letter is written by Rebel Leader...um, I mean "Old Majority" Vice Chair Ben Myers, and is directed to...

Michael Browne, PJ Hubbard, Robert Hudson, and Anne McCandless. In the letter, no titles follow the names of the intended recipients, though these individuals are, respectively, Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Secretary of the legal and duly-recognized JACC Executive Board, which I have dubbed the "New Majority." (I can say this. The correspondence from NRP, click here, speaks for itself)

And yet, firmly embarked on a course that appears utterly doomed, the letter from "Old Majority" leader Ben Myers (which says "SENT VIA EMAIL ONLY") cloaks itself in self-declared authority and makes demands and accusations, as follows:

RE: JACC Executive Board Cease and Desist

This letter is to advise you that you are currently misleading this organization and the community-at-large (sic) by engaging in unlawful acts.

Said unlawful acts in which you engaged in occurred on or about January 14, 2009, in which you all engaged in a direct violation of this organization's By-Laws (sic) by "removing" the previously elected 2008 Executive Board. You were advised by me orally that your actions are unlawful and in direct violation of this organizations (sic) by-laws (sic) as well as Minn.Stat. 317A.

(Paragraph break not in original document)

The provision of our by-laws in which you all have violated (sic) is clearly set forth in Article VI Section 3 which makes reference to the proper procedure outlined in Article V Section 4. As a result of your unlawful behavior you have held yourselves out as being the Executive Committee, when in fact you are not.

(Paragraph break not in original document)

As an example of such behavior Ms. McCandles (sic) has mislead (sic) the Ackerberg Group in allowing the illegal changing of the office's locks at 2009 James Ave. N., Minneapolis, MN. You have impacted this organization greatly and you have exposed all of us as an organization to potential civil liability.

At this time, as the current and duly elected Vice Chair, I am advising you all to cease and desist from any further misrepresentation to anyone. If you fail to comply with this demand, legal action may be taken against you.

Lastly, be advised that I am formally filing a grievance against all of you in accordance with my concerns outlined herein as well as the fact that you all have breached your fiduciary duty to this organization and as such is grounds (sic) for sanctions imposed by this organization.

You are instructed to direct all correspondence and responses to the chair Mrs. E.B. Brown.

Sincerely Yours,
Benjamin E. Myers
Jordan Area Community Council
Board Vice Chair

CC: E.B. Brown, Chair
JACC Board of Directors
Jerry Moore, Executive Director

(The letter bears the address of the Jordan New Life Church)
