The Times interviewed two brokers who shared how they sold coveted tee times.Amid the uproar, L.A.'s Department of Recreation and Parks introduced a pilot program to curb the profiteers. Golfers have to pay

The Mortdale Stake (Sydney Australia) received an email informing them the area had been selected for a Pilot Program named Informed Consent. The email included links to church sites for sources for all the statements. Upon examination it becomes clear it's not an official church-sanctioned email, but a disillusioned member who had access to the stake email system. https://wasmormon.org/email-to-sydney-australia-mortdale-stake-pilot-program-informed-consent/
