Roberts Rules has a “bad” side: it’s a family fiefdom run by the Roberts Family. They have been good caretakers of the tradition. But many good government types take issue with the fact a private family controls the by-laws of so many organizations. I got to listen to a city attorney go on and on for an hour about how inappropriate it is that city meetings are legally bound to follow the dictats of a family who doesn’t know the city exists. But then again, there’s no actual scandal so far.
