Recently, there has been public controversy over a letter that former Treasurer Todd Hagopian sent to a considerable number of members of the LNC. The letter was sent privately but has apparently become public knowledge in some circles. We had not discussed this here previously, because other matters were occurring, and we did not want to flood our finite bandwidth…
