I'm not sure if it's any defense to say I was drinking bloody Marys at the Broadway Pizza "policy booth" when somebody goaded me into repeating my Ben Myers impression for the camera.

And speaking of Ben Myers! Here is a firsthand account of the "Old Majority JACC members" delivering their purported, alleged and self-styled "resolutions" at the lawful "New Majority" board meeting a few nights ago, as I previously reported...

Here's a firsthand account from somebody who was there:

As the meeting was gathering and right before it was to be called to order, Chair Kip Browne had noticed that a few of the board members were standing in the back of the room and not at the board meeting table. He addressed Ben from across the room and said "I'd like to get the meeting started, are you going to sit up here at the (big boy) table?"

(Insertion of words "big boy" by Johnny Northside)

That is when Ben replied, "No, I am not, and I'd like to take this time to present you with a resolution' as he walked towards the board table with a document in hand. Ben Myers said "This meeting is out of order due to the fact that this organization does not have any leadership" and he placed the document on the table. He said, "I am sure you won't be in agreement with this resolution but I want to document that it has been filed."

So he walked to the back of the room and sat there for a while before leaving. He was with Steve Jackson and Robert Wilson. A few minutes into the meeting, EB Brown had arrived. She was smiling and had a generally friendly aura, which was nice to see. However, instead of joining the meeting at the table, she sat away from the board table, and eventually she also approached the table and placed a document next to Anne McCandless. She did this without interrupting the meeting.

Shortly after that, another lady, who I believe is EB Browne's daughter, did the same thing, approached and placed a document with the secretary, McCandless.

The source also adds the following: "The former JACC accountant, Judy Gallas, has been deposed by JACC attorney David Schooler. She has handed over financial records, quick books records and some other stuff that she had. Discovery at its finest!"

In another development: One of the JACC agenda items at that meeting was about an opportunity to have a Hmong college student working 10 hours a week at no cost to the organization in a partnership with MCTC, CURA at the U, and the Hmong community, AT NO COST TO JACC.

However, an obstacle is the fact JACC has no office equipment available for this person to get any work done, so some kind of arrangement will have to be made to house the college student at some other office.

I say again...SOME KIND OF ARRANGEMENT WILL HAVE TO BE MADE TO HOUSE THE COLLEGE STUDENT AT SOME...OTHER...OFFICE!!!!!

Like...like maybe a NEIGHBORHOOD office?
