Angela McArdle writes us: Hello everyone, I am giving notice of a special LNC meeting on January 26, 2025 at 7:00pm est via Zoom to consider disciplinary action against the Secretary, Caryn Ann Harlos, and any related motions. What can we here at Third Party Watch say…? Launching an appeal of an action before it is taken would be a…
Analyzing the November LNC Financial Report: Membership is lower than in any other month since December 2022. Membership is lower than in any end-of-year report since 2006, inclusive. Membership revenue for the year will probably (the few final days are missing from the count) be under one million dollars. Over the course of this year, credit card debt has increased…
The LNC Judicial Committee has released the remainder of its opinions on the Harlos suspension. Recall that the vote was 6-1 in favor of reinstatement. The authors explain why they voted to overturn the suspension. Of particular interest, however, is a paragraph in Ken Krawchuk’s dissent: Admittedly, the Harlos trial of 11/9 was conducted in Executive Session, contrary to the…

We are advised that the LP National Chair has barred the LP National Secretary from the internal party lists and other party records. As a result, National Secretary Harlos is unable to participate in the business of the party. We quote the message from McArdle: From: Angela McArdle <angela.mcardle@lp.org> Sent: Saturday, January 11, 2025 5:19:15 PM To: Caryn Ann Harlos…
