Yes, sometimes what goes around, comes around. Today was a busy day. We were in and out several times. When we got home near dinner time, my husband said there was a paper stuffed in the door. This isn't an unusual occurrence at our house. Often, a resident will want me to have a document but not want to be involved. Obviously, I reviewed the document to make sure I felt it was legitimate and it is.
It is an email regarding an attempt to secure a loan for the condo area to do pool restoration. The person goes on to say that they have spoken to the bank. I quote, "I have talked to our bank. They turned us down due to the fact that our name is Wedgefield. Their attorneys have advised them, because of the pending law suit, to stay away from any association in Wedgefield."
I don't wish on the condo residents and boards, what the 2009 Board has been through. However, I was at the door the night of the canal vote, holding back the press, having one of them removed, and many of the protesters who came on golf carts carrying signs for the newspaper photo op were from the condo area. Many were part of the Concerned Citizen movement that sued, invited and talked to the press, and spread Wedgefield's "what they made dirty linen" all over the local papers.
It was the Concerned Citizens that took the 2010 Recall to the newspapers. There were front page articles. I attended the Recall Meeting and the reporter who had harassed me at the door the night of the canal vote, wanted me to tell "our side". I refused. No thank you!
It was a person associated with the condo area that disrupted the August 2009 WPA Board Meeting. That same person threatened the Board and one particular Board Officer's life at another meeting.
It was the same group that took the canal lawsuit to the papers, settled, and now may be at it again.
When the Board tried to tell the Concerned Citizens that they were destroying our future property values and our ability to conduct business with high quality vendors and professionals, they were laughed at.
Now some Concerned Citizens want to sue the bank, a top notch law firm, and a great attorney. When that goes public, how will it impact any Board in Wedgefield from securing a loan? If you are selling your home, how will a local bank view a buyer's request for a loan for a home in Wedgefield?
I hope they are able to find financial resources to fix the pool. It is one of their amenities and they should be able to enjoy it. Perhaps we can learn to protect each others' property values, our community's reputation, and let us all enjoy the amenities we thought we were buying when we purchased our homes.
Recent rumors tell me that not every one has learned that lesson.
