Dear Examiner,
When we found out that others along the canal had received their survey and
we hadn’t, Mike asked,”What are we, chopped liver?” This was all before I
called you and found out you had been ‘inadvertently’ left out too. Oh, by the
way, Adam must think that you provide mail service as I have not received an
e-mail from him. Considering some of the e-mails that I have received from Mr.
Anderson, I know that he has my address! It is my opinion that this was a
deliberate snub. I’m going to the office on Monday to get a copy of the survey
and I want answers as to why, once again, I was treated differently. Watch,
Kathy will take the blame and I won’t believe it for a minute. Adam needs to
provide both of us with the truth.
Speaking as a mathematician with experience in statistics, a survey of a
select group of people is flawed when it deliberately leaves members of the
group out. Did this survey leave anyone else out? I am aware of the fact that
I have stated publically that I could not, and would not, consider joining a
sub-association until such time as I had answers to a few questions. I asked a
very pertinent question at the annual meeting--Who is responsible for
the spoil site?-- and received shrugged shoulders from Adam, and the
statement from Bob Garrison that the sub-association is just conceptual and no
one has answers to the questions that I keep raising. Really? The clock is
ticking on the permit. I have put the WPA on notice that their failure to
consider the spoil site for annual maintenance is, in my opinion, deliberate
negligence . Consider the money spent behind someone’s house—over $7000-- to
‘preserve WPA property.’ I was told by Al DeMarchi that the WPA had a
“responsibility’ to maintain WPA property. The spoil site is WPA property.
Where’s the maintenance, Al?
I was recently asked by Jacky Walton to co-chair the holiday decorating and
a tree lighting party similar to the one the Wedgefield Civic Group did in
2010. When I respectfully declined, he asked why. I was frank and told him
that he, as president, has allowed members of the Board to continue to send me
inappropriate e-mails, make snarky comments in public—including Al’s at the
annual meeting--, ignore legitimate questions, etc. I also reminded him that we
have not received an accurate financial statement in months and told him that I
can’t figure out where all of the money went! He thought that we should all get
over ‘this’ and move forward. I suggested that, as president, he insist that
his Board make the first step. I also told him that I am waiting for answers to
questions that I asked months ago. I told him that I have received personal
e-mails from Al DeMarchi and Adam Anderson. I asked if I was to take these
responses, incomplete as they were, as the official Board answers. HE TOLD ME
NO! I received, through Edmund on WPA letterhead, a response from John McBride
as the official Board answer to one of my questions. I have also informed
Edmund that I am STILL waiting for official answers.
I believe that this ‘cohesive’ Board does not answer my questions
because they know that they are legitimate and they are embarrassed not to have
thought of them first! Their continued discrimination just makes me
want to find out what they are hiding. All members of the WPA are entitled to
truthful answers.
