Merger Talks Hit Snag
Although there is little doubt the deal will still go through, our discussions with our acquiring partner have run into a hurdle. One small snag is how to make the announcement and whether to call it a merger or an acquisition. Our counselors will settle this, but with six figures involved, I'm not going to get hung up over terminology. We're still pushing for a clean new start beginning April 1, but the other side isn't prepared to close until later in the month.
I learned yesterday that the site is exploring a number of technology and interface upgrades, and we hope to lend some of our expertise to that project's rollout.
I do believe the deal is still sound and will go through. But in the interests of full disclosure, I wanted to keep you, our loyal readers, fully informed.
And now, a long-forgotten promise to this blogger is revealed:
Listen to the following in audio
Despite protestations to the contrary, our golf-cart wheeling, fist-wielding, litigation-prone, self-appointed burr in the mayor's saddle is a prolific e-mailer, blogger, and chat-room denizen. Valla Ann Bolovschak (or Vila, as her pal Danny calls her) cuts quite a swath through cyberspace, and seems to enjoy herself tremendously.
Valla Ann, who amazingly can be quite charming, even to men, when she chooses, takes particular pride in her sense of humor. Little of that has been seen in public lately, but you must understand that pot-boiling, language-twisting, and other general impishness is what Valla Ann considers humorous. That's fine. We all have annoying tendencies.
In late 2004 and again in 2005, Valla Ann and I corresponded. This was, of course, at a time when she believed I would be an ally in her campaign to ambush the mayor at every turn.
I asked the local cover girl and makeup model if she would make her proprietary tapings of the City Council meetings available to the public by depositing copies at the NAFC Public Library. She promised that she would do that.
More than a year has passed since that promise was elicited. A check yesterday verified that no such copies exist at the library or in any other repository available to the general public.
Volunteer Hoosier has refrained from calling the lady out on this promise until now. As we wind down our commentary and reporting in its present incarnation, now is the best time I can think of to ask Valla Ann either or both of two questions: 1. What's holding you up? I know it's not a technological problem. Has the library rejected your offer to deposit these historic records? AND/OR 2. Why did you lie to me when you never had any intention of making the tapes public?
