Why is the Board ineffective and why are so many meetings "canceled?"
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption :
Corruption, when applied as a technical term, is a general concept describing any organized, interdependent system in which part of the system is either not performing duties it was originally intended to, or performing them in an improper way, to the detriment of the system's original purpose.+/- Read more...
Corruption is essentially termed as an "impairment of integrity, virtue or moral principle; depravity, decay, and/or an inducement to wrong by improper or unlawful means, a departure from the original or from what is pure or correct, and/or an agency or influence that corrupts."
Based on the definitions above:
Ed Boks is corrupt and has corrupted the Board of Commissioners.
Example 1: The Board Goes Dark following the October 7, 2008 Special Meeting of the City's Personnel Committee (See video link to the left "Boks Trial").
Over 100 animal services employees (and another hundred or so rescuers, volunteers and activists rose up and told their shocking stories of Boks's and Barth's mismanagement of the department and retaliatory acts. Former President Commissioner Brown stated he was speaking "on behalf of the Board." Turned out he was not.
Brown quit the Board immediately thereafter. No doubt Brown will surface on another City Board in 2009.
The Board Went Dark
For 3 months.
Perhaps they met on November 17 but we have no verification of that.

Suspected reasons?
1. To make this Zine thing go away.
2. To silence conscientious now "acting president," Kathy Riordan.
3. To wait for the Mayor to install Irene Ponce who will do the Mayor's and Boks's bidding.
4. To wait for a new president to be installed who is not Kathy Riordan.
This is illegal. This is corruption.
Example 2: Board Goes Dark following the "Stu meeting."
Way back in August 2007 the Board placed on their agenda the matter of the dog, Stu, and considered whether he should sit on death row in the pound or at Bobby Dorafshar's K9s Only as a guest of New Leash on Life Animal Rescue. Boks blocked this agenda item for 3 months until he could block no more and the Board , led by Kathy Riordan and Marie Atake , was allowed to actually set their own agenda.
The Board considered sending a letter to the Court of Appeal but could not find support due to City Attorney putting the brakes on this. The Board voted unanimously to move Stu to sanctuary pending the outcome of his legal case.
The next day, the Mayor's office threatened Riordan and Atake with removal from the Board for actually doing their job. Atake quit in protest and Riordan remained.
Then the Board went dark.

Commission Minutes
Suspected reasons?
1. To make this Stu thing go away.
2. To silence conscientious now "acting president." Kathy Riordan.
3. To force the resignation of Marie Atake who , shortly thereafter received a commendation from City Council.
4. To wait for the Mayor to install a new Commissioner who will do the Mayor's and Boks's bidding.
This is what Boks and the Mayor's office do when a controversial issue surfaces on the Board's Agenda. They slap the Board down and prohibit them from meeting.
This is illegal.
This is corruption.
If we were Illinois U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald, who is prosecuting Rod Blogojevich, we would issue an indictment on multiple counts of corruption and other charges.
They think we are stupid or will not call them on their bullshit. Ed thinks he's bulletproof. Are they right?
