The Commissioner wishes to convey his sincere thanks and gratitude for suggestions from league members that he receive a raise for the challenging work he puts in for the league. He is humbled by the support and pledges to continue to put in Herculean efforts, week in and week out, on behalf of the league.
In spite of the fact that his pledge to never raise dues has lapsed, he said he refuses to raise dues for this and next season, although he cautioned that an overwhelming vote by the Senior Advisory Committee would require him officially to revisit that decision.
