I note here that I'm not aware that Jay's name is actually mentioned in any of those minutes.

Here's my recollection of what happened: The then-President of the C&TS had negotiated the trade with the D&SNG and all that seemed to be left was for the C&TS Commissioners to approve the deal. The Commissioners then put off their decision for a few weeks in order to first hear from the local community. Jay then posted on his board something about how he was going to talk to one Commissioners and tell him the truth about the deal. At the next meeting, that Commissioner who Jay spoke with voted no and the resulting 2-2 vote is what killed the trade.

You can see most of what happened in the commission minutes; the only parts missing are Jay's posts on the Goat. Unfortunately, I cannot quote Jay because the Goat lost all its posts from October 2014 thru July 2020 and the Wayback Engine only seems to have archived subject lines and not the posts themselves.
