Simple, basic questions for which answers should be documented as part of best management practices for any entity acting on behalf of others. Staff of any BoT should be able to pull the answers rather quickly from the Board's records.
ReplyDeleteSo what is the recourse other than the voting booth for holding Board members liable for their actions that clearly are not in the best interest of the entity they are privileged to govern? Some type of Class Action or other legal tool?

The BOT members are indemnified - unless they were found to commit a crime in the process of their decision making.
DeleteSo, yes, law suits will be an option after the arrests.
