What? Looks like you completely misread what I said, I said this "whole issue" meaning consolidation, not "this issue". I'm not the least bit involved in this particular issue, I do know some of the ones involved and when claims were made about them, that's when I came in.

And I'm not sure it's as cut and dry with the "pay taxes and go on", though I could be wrong...I'm not sure that's how this could have been resolved. Maybe if there were no complaints and potential threats involved, but when there might be a board member calling for his head, it's just not going to go away. It would have been fought bitterly, yes for something as dumb as this, and any attempt to sweep it under the rug would have been seen as favoritism too. Damned if it he does, damned if he doesn't, that's the position he was in after due to a pathetic group.
