100 Days and Counting -- Oh, Will You Look At That!

As I write this, former PLCB member Michael Newsome has been off the PLCB board for 100 days. But...his resumé is still on the PLCB website. It must be so hard having to find a page (on your own site) and push the Delete button. Until they delete it, you can see it here. If they finally got to it, here is a snip showing it was still up as of 12:37 March 18, 2019.

I got tired of waiting, so I sent them an email, just a little nudge (sent it this afternoon, March 18). I wonder if they realize that Mr. Newsome isn't coming back. When you can't even keep track of one of the top three guys running your agency, how well do you think they are doing with inventory, product choice, or other personnel?

It's said that if you take care of the little things. the big things take care of themselves. If you can't take care of either...you can always work for the PLCB.

Well, it turns out that poking them with a stick works. After posting about this on our Facebook page and sending them an email, they finally decided to remove the information — without any explanation about why it took so long. They did say that the "hidden page" had been removed, but guys...it wasn't hidden, you'd just removed the link. Pretty much the same way it went the last time I poked them about a Web screw-up. I should be getting some of that Joe Conti emergency consultant money!

PLCB - Moving at the speed of business. 1930's business.

Just an observation.

I like numbers, I like to see in cold hard print if things are as people claim.  This causes me to wonder why it takes over six weeks to post a pdf of a mimeographed copy of an un-audited financial report on the PLCB website?  Lately (the last few years) these reports have been showing up at the end of August but not this record year.  Maybe record slowness is part of the record year?  It's not like they don't have the info, the press release was back on August 5th so to cherry pick and report some numbers you basically have to have all the numbers available otherwise things don't match up when you do release the information to the public. There will be some interesting numbers showing up in a future blog post depending on when the PLCB hires somebody to figure out the internet for them.

Stay tuned.

Privatization IS Modernization - Accept nothing less.

UPDATE:  Here it is two weeks later and still nothing from the PLCB.  It is now two months since they released some cherry picked numbers so the question I'm asking besides what is taking so long is what are they not wanting us to see?
