For insights into why see the Executive Committee minutes posted at:
http://archive.lp.org/lnc/ec/20020821.html
I'll let someone else read more carefully and summarize the minutes,
which include a couple points below as well as others.  I'll just list
a few insights a little bird told me which I wrote down (subjectivity
levels noted).

1.   The party is bankrupt and may still be after cashes in last
certificate--or til a whole bunch of money comes in the mail.

2.  The staff has build up more than $100,000 (including taxes) of
very generous leave, vacation time, etc that is owed, without
authorization by or notice to the LNC.

3.  The staff was moving money around from the Convention Account to
pay operating expenses which it really should not have been doing.

4.   The Natl Director doesn't want to fire any staff  and doesn't
seem interested in being clear on who is doing what and how many hours
they are working and what they are getting paid.  (More clarification
needed on this.)

5.   It's clear a forensic audit is going to have to be done to dig
through 5-6 years of accounts.  (Subjective comment.)

6.   The current staff is mostly people who don't really know how to
sell liberty so they are happy to get and keep members by compromising
principles and tolerating those who support statist abuses.  (Very
subjective comment.)

Just hope whoever is working on getting LP out of those $9,000 a month
offices is busy looking.
