What have the Elections Inspectors said about the B question?
Based upon Elections Inspectors objections, the A vs. B choice on the November 16, 1997 Board resolution violates Bylaw 11.1. The Inspectors stated, “It is obvious why the board of directors would want to put its own resolution on the ballot against the initiated question, rather than just making a well argued ballot statement: many voters may read the initiated resolution but not the ballot statements… Putting an opposing resolution on the ballot may catch the eye of these voters before they vote.” The Board was forced to drop the word “quotas” and rephrase their statement on January 13, 1998. (Contrary to bylaws, it is still not expressed as a question).
