Motion to move meeting to second Sunday. Martin says there is a secret shadow organization running the LNC. His rationale becomes somewhat hyperbolic. Sentiment expressed that a later meeting would permit full financial reports to be given. Motion passes 16-0-1.

There is a bizarre argument after the meeting ended.
Addendum: Courtesy of Liberty Sentries and John Ponty, I can report who was elected:
The following have been elected by the Libertarian Party National Committee to the following Committees:
Interestingly, there was no report about the lawsuit against Angela McArdle that required $40,000 payment to initiate. I wonder if the delay had something to do with the demand letter McArdle’s attorney sent the LNC with a minimum $250,000 defamation claim and an offer to settle for $10,000 with an apology.

Just imagine, wanting the LP/LNC to apologize to an embezzler for embezzling LP/LNC funds and then asking for another $10k from the same organization she embezzled from.
This woman is nuts.
Excuse me?
While most of the CoC are Party veterans, a good number of us haven’t been on the CoC before. We’re on there to not repeat the mistakes of the past and do better.
We do these things because we care and we’re good at it. Not because of any clique.
Kvetch elsewhere, or even better, build your own Party resume like we have.
Quite literally just the same folks as always.
New boss, same as the old boss. If you aren’t team cool kids you aren’t actually allowed to volunteer at the LNC.
