It's ironic that the President of the League of Women Voters will be at an event which conflicts with a debate sponsored by the League of Women Voters at IUSB for the at-large SB School Board race.

Actually, it's infuriating.

? Why does it matter that much if the president of the organization is there or not?

Just curious why you appear so upset about it.
