Non-profit board members don't like talk of how other non-profits operate outside of government mandaded limitations; which is the case here in Michigan with these anonymous "22,000 member" council. I would never be connected with any board which condoned these closed/back door antics of their members and feel that very simple questions involving how these people have operated to date is the only very well spelled out issue here.

You're on the wrong forum. TLCA has absolutely nothing to do with anything in Michigan. The OHV group that I think you are referring to, ARRA, is very clandestine. That's not TLCA's issue. That's yours. You need to pick the correct forum, correct representatives, correct people, and address THEM. Not us. We aren't involved in any way, shape or form with them.
Regarding "pay to play" -- I'm all for it.
