With all due respect, what we are seeing here is frustration. Unrealistic expectations were created by management as to certain timelines. Now, all will jump to the defense of Bill, fine, so be it, your perogative as much as it is another's to criticise him. You might think he would have stopped giving his predictions when he was not inspected in April, nor seeding in May, or harvesting in July. Yes, it is HC's fault, the towns fault, but as recent as August he made the statement he fully expected to be licensed by the end of August, then Sam weighs in saying we fully expect to be licensed by, and so on. If management knows HC cannot be rushed, or pushed or relied upon then stop stating you expect to have the license by such and such a date. As many will jump to their defense as will jump to implicate them in a stock selling scheme.

Obviously fuses are burning short here - those who say Bill can do nothing wrong to those who criticise his leadership. This is getting to be a nasty board, at least if you are going to disagree, try to be polite.
