I will comment on the issues that Laverne asked about, as she requested of the other candidates. As SC, the discussion regarding funding issue should be addressed and discussed and hopefully brought to a member vote. This would create a huge change, but one that long-term would be excellent for the project. It would take much discipline and involvement from all the members, thus the reason for the discussion of all the options. I agree with Martha about the funding and changes for all the same reasons.
