Bob Loth is a bich assed punk who has no idea how to run a business. I spoke to him more than once during the event and subsequent 23 day outage. He reminds me of Mario Cuomo. He is all-knowing, doesn't accept feedback, and doesn't give a damn about the welfare of his customers.
I went to the Board meeting.
They made everyone stand outside in the rain, and only admitted 6 ppl at a time to talk. No outside amplification, so nobody outside could hear what was being said by those inside the building. Each person got 3 minutes to talk and 2 minutes to listen to the board's response. That's 30 mins per every group of 6. I was 25th in line. That means my wait time would be 2+ hours. After i got interviewed by the Kerrville newspaper reporters (outside the building), I left.
Things they could have done better:
1. Set up speakers outside, so those that were standing in line could hear previous questions and comments. There is no point in the board just answering the same 3 or 4 questions over and over again.
2. Live stream the meeting. I don't care what Bob Loth says about other co-ops, he's still a btch assed punk.
3. Allow customers to ask questions via email, since that's how we were notified of the meeting in the first place. They then could have posted their replies on social media (I'm shocked that CTEC actually has a facebook page), as well as giving their replies to the Fredericksburg newspaper.
I wrote a letter to the editor of our paper today. If CTEC's intent was to further anger their hostages, I mean customers, they did a fine job of doing that on Tuesday.
Let me reiterate. What Bob Loth did with regards to the meeting was deliberate. There absolutely was intent to make people quit standing in line. I saw Fburg cops run the media off while I was in line. Bob can now say, "hey, we had a meeting and gave access to the public. What else do you want me to do?"
I want to you quit or get fired, Bob. You are a despicable human being.
