Phoenix and Arizona ASA merge......
 

Life is about to get interesting around here.......:cool:

Haven't a number of metro associations been merged into states over the past year or so?

Here in Central Atlantic, there is no longer a Metro Washington DC. They were merged with Piedmont Virginia, Central Virginia and Maryland.

Serg

Yeah, we lost Atlanta ASA in a merger with Georgia ASA effective 1/1/2006. Interesting is a good way to describe the resultant interactions.

Theres a LOT of territory to figure out..the bloodletting and wailing should begin soon.

Darrell,

I can tell you, there will be some screaming and bloodletting, but nothing to figure out. Whoever OKC wants in control, will be in control.

So cynical, Mr Rowe....surely the godfathers..I mean national staff...will be kind and reasonable.:D Actually we're looking forward to some good changes....

If you mean the NUS, they have zero influence, and zero input. The Board of Directors will rubberstamp the Commissoner selected by a very short committee (Cress, Monson, and your area Board representative). The new Commissioner will have full control over his entire staff; only if he asks your Regional UIC for input, will any be given. He may get some guidance (read pressure) from the short committee, or the Board, to make (or avoid) certain appointments; but the Code gives the Commissioner full and final control of all staff appointments.

Yah..wasnt refering to the umpire side.... god forbid umps have input:D

You forgot the

"MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

:cool:


But that begs the question...

How did some bodunk backwards state like OKC get to be in charge of anything except how much peanuts should be on the floor of their honkey tonk bars???

CA or a real state should be in charge.

Dont get me started on California...any state that lets its SP umps wear grey should be banned....

Um....for the record, OKC is short for Oklahoma City, which of course, by its very name is obviously a city, not a state. You know, like NYC, or New York City. :D

Insinuating CA isn't a "real" state? Don't think you will get too many arguments on this board!

:D

SP Umps have to wear uniforms?

Yeah, I been there. Drove a little south, saw this big sewer.. ummm I mean "red river"

Yep, I seen all the best that OKC has to offer.
