How much should a IUOE General Executive Board meeting Cost?

That’s a simple enough question. I think its so simple I dare Vincent Giblin to give the 400,000 members of the IUOE a simple answer. In fact I challenge every one of these Vice Presidents and Executive Board Members, William C. Waggoner, William E. Dugan, Jim McLaughlin, Brian E. Hickey, Gary Kroeker, John M. Hamilton, Allan B. Darr, Kenneth Campbell, Patrick L. Sink, William K. Duffy, Gerald Ellis, Jerry Kalmar, Philip Schloop, Russell E. Burns, and these trustees Mark Holliday, John T. Ahern, Mike Gallagher, Rodger Kaminski, Kuba Brown to give every member of the IUOE a simple answer on how do you spend $898,303 on a Executive Board meeting? The meeting I am referring to happened in March of 2007 at the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa one of the most expensive hotels and golf courses in all of the Phoenix area. Hasn't anyone ever heard of conference calls, Teleconferencing? Email? I know for a fact the IUOE has a conference room, and could build a bigger one for that kind of money. Why in the sam hill should the members pay these incompetent nincompoops for this exorbitant lifestyle? Did they tear down all the Red Roof Inns in Phoenix? This is the most incredible waste of members dues resources I have ever seen, all the while these boobs are in Phoenix the scabs work around every corner in Washington DC, the bastion of the International Union is a cesspool of scabs and non-union contractors, maybe that’s why they got out of town.
