The Brigade will be going back to the ballot box again. We have cleaned up some of the rough areas and defined some others in the bylaws. After hearing from some disgruntled maggots the board has listened and agree that all due paying members including Maggots will have the right to vote as long as you all pass this. We have also defined the voting rotation for officers so we can have an election in October 2011 at the Redneck Olympix. Look through the bylaws and let me know any concerns you may have. Once the discussion dies down we will take it to a full vote. I’ll let you know ahead of time and if anyone wants to speak before we vote just tell someone on the board and you will have the floor.
