As we have chronicled here at the Watch the current state chairman of the NYSYRs, Diana Sepulveda, is considered by many (almost all of her board members) to be a Chair In Name Only (CINO).
We have illustrated how every single member of the new board(s) were also members of the old board(s).
This is known on the streets as a shell game or three card monte. You see, no matter who you put in the top spot the organization is still run by a core group of dirtbags, some of whom may or may not secretly refer to themselves as the founding fathers of the new-NYSYRs that was born circa 2003.
Don't believe us?
Check out this email that was forwarded to us by a good friend of the Watch.
Who lives at the address at the bottom of this email in Astoria Queens?
Our sources tell us it isn't the current Corresponding Secretary.
So who is it?
Former Chair/Treasurer and current candidate for YRNF Chair (endorsed by the old/new board(s) in secret on a teleconference) Jason Weingartner lives there.
So we humbly ask again- who is pulling the CINO's strings?
We suspect everyone knows.
Perhaps its time for our CINO to assert herself or step aside for another puppet to take the reigns. Or maybe she likes being their puppet.
ReplyDeleteSince Jason was the Treasurer the last time the ConstantContact bill had to be paid, I'm not terribly surprised that his address ended up there. It would be nice to update it, but it's hardly scandalous. Did anyone try having a conversation with Diana about it?
ReplyDeleteNo one mentioned scandal.
ReplyDeleteSo since you made an assumption let us make a few.
1- you're a male.
There are few if any female YRs in the NYSYRs that are active and coherent.
2- you are either a former board member, current board member, or former and soon to be current board member.
No one besides NYSYRs care about things like this and only you guys (board(s) members)consider yourselves NYSYRs.
So now that we got that out of the way, maybe you can tell Diana.
Although we are pretty sure she and the rest of her honorable board(s) members are fans of the Watch ;)
Thanks for the comments and the "hits."
PS: Speaking of the position of Treasurer, we can't wait to see the next BOE Disclosure coming in a few weeks. Specifically, did the NYSYRs pay for any part of the "trip" to Alabama/YRNF?
We have been told conflicting stories. We hope the one that had the NYSYRs paying for certain things for certain people is the more accurate report (even though it is still somewhat embarrassing)cause the other one has a candidate picking up the tab for delegates to the convention for certain expenses.
Seems like that could be seen as vote buying/ballot stuffing and a hell of a good argument that prohibitively high costs and large distances to a convention suppress voting.
I guess we'll know soon enough....
In the meantime, since we have such a high-profile commenter (we don't care who you are and won't take a guess- there are plenty of white/males on the board(s) to keep you anonymous) maybe you can give us your take as to how it makes sense to strip the current Chair from the incorporation document's Board of Whatever?
Diana Sepulveda is a young professional FEMALE/HISPANIC that technically had more of a role when she was the Vice-Chair than currently as Chair.
Feel free to fill us all in.
Why do you say there are "few if any NYSYR females that are coherent" ? Do you have any examples of the "incoherent" females?
DeleteWe can but won't.
DeleteWe challenge you to give an example of a female (or male for that matter) in the NYSYRs that is BOTH active and coherent.
