Brown’s letter displays his usual flair for speculation; the “gang of six,” the “unrealistic board members,” “Berman received a huge salary,” “investors got the shaft,” etc. I suspect Brown is all riled up because the good-old-boy ranchers who have run LPEA for so long may become the minority on the board.

His fulminations remind me of the old adage that some people don’t have enough sense to come in out of the rain. He ought to respect Berman’s attempt to start a business, and if he can’t, he should at least show some compassion and empathy as a good Christian would.

Neither letter addresses the issue of Berman’s qualifications and experience to serve on the board.
