Open Letter to all Radburn Residents:

I was shocked and appalled to find out that the Radburn Citizens Association (RCA) meeting of February 21,2007 was canceled with 3 of the 4 democratically elected officers not allowed to vote on the cancellation. Although I am sorry to hear June Meyerson is ill, Ms. Meyerson's self-appointed committee chairs decided that the meeting should not take place. Neither Ted King, Vice President, Christine Nunn, Secretary, or Han Broekman, Treasurer, were consulted prior to any action and were told in so many words that their votes were not needed.

According to the RCA's By-laws, the Vice President, in this case Mr. Ted King, is required to perform the duties of the President in his or her absence. That's a fact but in the words of one individual who stood outside the Radburn Grange to ensure no one would attend that evening's meeting, "And you ask why don't we trust Ted King and all who support the status quo???? "

Why were Mr. King, Ms. Nunn and Mr. Broekman NOT contacted by Ms. Meyerson? Why were a group of individuals, six of them litigants in the lawsuit against the Radburn Association, able to get together, sign a cancellation of meeting flyer and distribute it WITHOUT notice to or vote of the 3 aforementioned DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED officers of the RCA? Why were Robert Gulack, Kathy Moore and others on the steps of the Radburn Grange the evening of February 21 to ensure that a meeting did not "secretly" occur?

Clearly, the advocates for Democracy! within Radburn don't see the same principles applying to their actions or agenda. They are not a group of individuals who only seek "Democracy and Transparency" in Radburn. They are a politically motivated group who have one agenda: POWER in Radburn AND Fair Lawn.

I urge you to write to Ms. Meyerson and demand an answer to this question: why are you not upholding the same fundamental principles you are currently suing the Radburn Association for which you allege they have not done?

Sincerely,

Stuart Pace.
