… I can think of lots of places where I'd feel exactly the opposite
about this. It seems to me that the board recall approach is more
likely to be preferable when there is a real political struggle going
on about what ought to be done, and the board is in serious
disagreement with the community. (This doesn't strike me as an
entirely fanciful possibility.) I would argue that kicking such a
tussle to judicial bodies of any kind is almost always a mistake,
because the struggle doesn't get resolved despite an answer being
delivered.
Best regards,
A
