Federal tax exemption is not the only reason a political message on the RJFA email list is unacceptable.

The sports groups are out in full force. Just got a “Mid-Season Update from RBSA President Jim Albano” telleing me what’s been going on in RBSA-land but no discussion of their IRS issues which is what I’d really like to know about. I haven’t gotten an RBSA message in years since my kids are already in college.
Also got another one from a RBSA trustee urging me to vote for Jim Albano because he is the ONLY candidate concerned about our youths (funny, my kids played ALOT of sports with the Knudsen kids and Susan has been the photog for the RHS football and Mike has young ones who will play sports). I never heard Susan or Mike say that didn’t support the recommendations of the open-space committee and I’ve been listening but I could be wrong.
Disingenous, at best.
