Theresa Mungioli speaks out on the manufactured controversy at
the Oakland County Republican Party Executive Committee meeting. I stand by with what she is saying as I was there that night as a proxy vote.
Oakland County Republican Chair Theresa Mungioli |
So, here's what really happened at the OCRP Exec. Committee
meeting for you from the Chair of the Oakland County Republican Party.
"This past week (a week ago tonight), the OCRP
Executive Committee met, but there are some trying to distort what happened at
the meeting. We did not vote on an asset forfeiture resolution. We did vote to
support our bylaws by following the process that This past week the OCRP
Executive Committee met but there are some trying to distort what happened at
the meeting. We did not vote on an asset forfeiture resolution. We did vote to
support our bylaws by following the process that resolutions must go to the
Issues Committee first, and to follow the bylaws regarding proper notice of
resolutions.
In April, OCRP worked with a local club to bring in a speaker on
asset forfeiture. Also in April, the Issues Committee reviewed two resolutions,
voted to recommend one and the recommended resolution was shared in advance of
the Executive Committee meeting. We could have voted on the asset forfeiture
issue then. However the authors wanted their way and were not happy with the
compromise wording, refused to have us vote on this compromise and pulled it
from the agenda, where it was referred back to committee. Then this week they
brought hard copies of a new resolution and handed them out at the meeting.
This is after many explanations of the bylaws process and communication on the
timing for when resolutions need to be submitted for consideration. OCRP has
not voted on the asset forfeiture issue because the authors refused to
compromise. The resolution will be brought to a vote when the bylaws are
followed. Trying to ram through a resolution without prior notice and without
sharing in advance of the meeting is a violation of the bylaws.
OCRP is not a policy board – we are here to elect
Republicans. This constant fighting from a group that wants to hijack the
meetings, distort the facts and only want to get their way, does not help us in
our goal to elect Republicans. Their only participation has been at Executive
Committee meetings and many have refused to join sub-committees, attend events
and help us in the cause of electing Republicans. In fact, some openly promoted
voting for Democrats last November. If a Board member openly advocated to a
company that they should buy products from their competition, they would be
removed from the Board. If an elected official does not follow the Republican
platform, they are openly criticized. Yet these members of the OCRP Executive
Committee are willing to bypass our bylaws to promote their agenda. The
hypocrisy is astounding."
