I was directed to expell the people who didn't go along withthe
state president's ideaof sending all fundraising monies to the
state office and thenthey would be redistributed.  Therewere
some racial overtonesto.  The california situation was
disasterous and I'm sure is still regretted today.  In an
organizationthere has to be accounting, there has to be
diciplin, but puting such emphasis on that sort of thing to the
exclusion of other activities tome is just wrong, harmful, and
can be disasterous tothe organization.  In my case if the state
president hadjust stayed out of it we could have stayed the
course, done what we were supposed to as good NFB members
andkept things going. Grant
