WTF!! GTac just defaulted!-But Iron Cty gave 1yr extension anyway!!
Iron cty reminds me of lemon car I had long ago. I kept putting money into it--every so often--more often as time went on that I did not want to get rid of it because of the money in it. But finally bit the bullet and traded it off. Best thing I ever did. Past time for Iron CTY to give GTac the boot.

We won't even comment on whether or not it was legal to do that without an agenda item and full board approval.
We would only like to point out a few very sad facts:.......
