FLORIDA'S FINEST.. O-O-O LA LA!!!


REPRESENTING WHO'S
MOST IMPORTANT!  - ME! 


HEY, PATRICK LAPINE HERE WITH THE LEAGUE OF SOUTHEASTERN CREDIT UNIONS. BEEN LOTS OF TALK GOING 'ROUND ABOUT THE QUESTION OF CHOICE WITHIN CUNA AND THE LEAGUES - LOTS OF CONFUSION, BEHIND THE SCENES TURMOIL, JUST ALL KINDA BAD STUFF!


WELL LISTEN UP, AS ONE OF THE
LEADING LIGHTS IN THE LEAGUE SYSTEM AND AS A VOTING MEMBER OF THE CUNA BOARD, LET ME FILL YOU IN ON HOW ALL THIS REALLY GOES DOWN.

MOM, APPLE PIE,
AND ME!
I'M FOR CHOICE AND I'M FOR CREDIT UNIONS - OK? TRUST ME! I'M ON YOUR SIDE! BUT ON THE CUNA BOARD, I GOTTA LOOK AFTER MY CONSTITUENTS - RIGHT?  SURE THAT'S THE AMERICAN WAY! 

I'M NOT PAID TO HAVE A CONSCIENCE NOR TO DO THE RIGHT THING.  AS A CUNA BOARD MEMBER, I'M THERE TO REPRESENT MY CONSTITUENTS  -  THE OTHER LEAGUE CEO's IN MY DISTRICT.

FORGET THE PEOPLE;
IT'S THE SYSTEM!

I'M NOT THERE TO REPRESENT THE BEST INTERESTS OF 6000 CREDIT UNIONS; I'M NOT THERE TO REPRESENT THE BEST INTERESTS OF 100 MILLION CREDIT UNION MEMBERS! I'M SIMPLY THERE TO REPRESENT THE BEST INTERESTS OF MY BUDDIES, THOSE LEAGUE PRESIDENTS! 

THERE ARE JUST 40 OF US AND WE ARE
LEAGUE LIONS!!
CRUCIAL TO THE CREDIT UNION MOVEMENT. WITHOUT US THE CREDIT UNION WORLD STOPS. THAT'S WHY THE 40 LEAGUE PRESIDENTS - JUST 40 INDIVIDUALS - HAVE ONE FOURTH OF THE VOTES ON THE CUNA BOARD. 40 OF US GET 6 VOTES, 100 MILLION CU MEMBERS GET 18 VOTES - HEY ONE MEMBER ONE VO... WELL, Y'KNOW, WHATEVER.


THATS DEMOCRACY AT IT'S BEST! OUR COOPERATIVE, CREDIT UNION  PRINCIPLES AT WORK AT CUNA - 
"PEOPLE HELPING OURSELVES".


GOING BOTH WAYS!

BUT LET ME ASSURE YOU I SUPPORT YOU DESPITE HOW I VOTE! IT MAY LOOK LIKE PERSONAL SELF-INTEREST , BUT DON'T BE FOOLED, TRUST ME.




P.S. - HOPE YOU HAVE
A GREAT WEEKEND
AT THE SE LEAGUE MEETING!

Do we understand how badly this system works, or are we numb?
La Pine.
March 1, 2015.
Writes an opinion piece dressing down CU Times for :
1. Having the temerity to ask a Senator if he supports the cu tax exemption.
2.having the temerity to ask him when and where they asked him.
3. Lacking the intelligence to, get this, print an article about the Senator's answer without checking with Cuna or him first.

Do we get that this league president thinks so little of credit unions real needs, what's best for the system, the fundamentals of freedom of the press and that he works FOR CUs and that the Senators work FOR the people?
WE get what WE pay for.
Don't pay anymore.
They're hanging on to the tax exemption (Nafcu, Cuna, leagues) worse than we are but they're BENEFITTING, we are not.
Wake up and move on.
That's better than CUT as a slogan.

Yes. He was protecting and defending the senator and his payroll, not us.

LaPine represents everything the good old boy network is. Full of pompous, self-righteous,grab as much as you can for yourself and to hell with everyone else. He talks out of both sides of his mouth and had his league believing it. He is one of the boys who hoped Cheney would fail and is now wishing the same for Nussle. Your turn is coming buddy boy.

He needs to resign from the CUNA board. We offered him a chance to be on the radio show and he declined. Classic.

Nussle discusses CUNA shortcomings. I think the words bloated and inefficient were used.

LaPine makes $500,000 a year too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jason M. Dias said...

they were used and then CUNA media reps said he had mispoke, but not that the words were not applicable.

It is sickening to see the income made by people who do not accomplish results and worse, behave in a manner that is void of what the true mission is and dismiss freedom of the press as if it's unrelated to their cause.
And their cause is clear.
Make money for them, not help CUs.
And it's all of them.
Nafcu, Cuna, leagues.
It's a joke and we are the "butt".
Wake up and move on...like the sound of that.

Let's see which of the jelly fish credit union CEO's will will develop enough backbone to say no to both and yes for their members. Anyone want to guess the number that will? Count them on one hand, maybe two?
