I thought that you would like to know that LPOC chairperson Bruce Cohen was censured by his own administration, only 2 months into his term. It took a while to get the text. The usual delay and cover up tactics hindered sunshining of the text. Mr. Cohen’s comments indicated on at least one message board that he thinks this is a joke and does not take this very seriously.
Here are the released minutes (finally) of the Ex-Com meeting provided for any good libertarians who remain in our organization to reflect upon. I would consider it a personal favor if you would keep this information in the back of your mind should Mr. Cohen come up for any future election or appointment in the LP.
In my opinion, (and large number of others) Mr. Cohen has single handedly ruined our organization here in Orange County.
