[sudo-discuss] [omni-consensus] Proposal: Hire or Replace Me as Omni's Bookkeeper

[Karissa McKelvey]

Seems like this block could be over ruled, considering the amount of folks
who have jumped on board in support. Looking like over 95% agreement here?

Thanks for taking the time to advocate for this, everyone. I haven't heard
of a single non-profit that relies entirely on volunteer work for
everything, especially these kinds of very professional specialized tasks,
such as finance, which could wreck the entire boat if done improperly and
carry a ton of weight and responsibility.

It is really shameful and disrespectful for Steve & co to disregard that
effort being put in, and to also go against what seems to be such a clear
and overwhelming support of the proposal.
