JUST ONE MORE THOUGHT FOR THE BOARD AND OUR PRESIDENT CONTRACTOR, AND FOR MANY OF YOU, WHO TOOK STEPS LIKE THIS IN THE PAST. WHEN A BOARD WON'T ANSWER, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO DO THE BEST YOU CAN TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE GATE HOUSE FIX

Having been sued, as a board member, and as an individual, by Concerned Citizens, that had members who contributed funds to their lawsuit, like the writer who wrote the board about that awful, Wedgefield Examiner, I learned a lot. There were no lengths this group, wouldn't go to, to get answers, or make their point.  For instance, they wrote to the bank involved in the loan process, they wrote to residents advising them not to pay their assessments - put them in escrow (Legal Chair Garrison), and one of them wrote the WPA insurance company. Has anyone thought, that if our president and board won't answer, that the insurance company of the WPA, and the president contractor, might need to know about how this board is conducting business, and how unethical the bidding process and contractor process seems to be?  Would it alarm the WPA insurance company that they obviously ignored the governing documents - Conflict of Interest, and made instant, on the spot policy, violating resident, and even board member rights under state law, to have copies?  Would they be interested to know that our Legal Chair refused to get a legal opinion regarding Conflict of Interest, after being asked to do so three times at the board table, on the night of this vote?  Would they be interested to know that our president won't answer, regarding this issue? These are just a few possibilities, in the case of the WPA insurance carrier.

Would the president/contractor's insurance company be interested to see what he violated in bidding ethics, forget about his oversight as president.  Would they consider that he works with budgeting, project planning, and has been inside and out of these buildings? One of the 3 bidders wrote that he couldn't complete the bid until he could view the problem.  Don't you think our president/contractor has seen the problem, and HAD more knowledge than the rest?  Could be viewed as unethical bidding. Maybe the contractor's insurance company would like to know.

To date, I certainly have not written the insurance companies.  Some of you are capable, you've done it before, and the information as to how to contact these companies, is contained in the files in the office, and every resident has a right to review them.  Go see for yourself.  I noted the information for myself, but haven't used it, as of today.  Don't worry about whether there are ramifications to it, because what I learned through the lawsuits, there were none.  Many of you know that, you helped plan who to write to.   Think about it, if our president and board won't answer, then they must believe it isn't a problem, for you to use tactics, that you, yourself may have used in the past.  Contact your friends in the Concerned Citizens, or even Garrison, not as Legal Chair, but as a resident like you and me, who used these very kind of tactics to get information, in the past.

THANK YOU CONCERNED CITIZENS! AS I REFLECT ON IT, I LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU.  THE CANAL LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY THE CONCERNED CITIZENS, AND YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST ME AND THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, WERE UNFOUNDED, WHEN SETTLEMENT WAS REACHED.  I DID LEARN THAT IT MUST BE OK TO DO WHAT YOU DID, BECAUSE, YOU GOT THROUGH IT UNSCATHED.  I'M SURE MOST OF YOU AREN'T LIKE THAT HYPOCRITE WHO WROTE THE BOARD ABOUT THE WEDGEFIELD EXAMINER, YOU AREN'T LIKE THE "POT, CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK", ARE YOU?

 

 

WHY EVEN LEGAL CHAIR GARRISON COULDN'T FIND FAULT WITH YOU IF YOU DECIDE TO WRITE THE INSURANCE COMPANIES, HE WAS ON THE BOARD WHEN ONE OF HIS CONCERNED CITIZEN FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS, TOOK THIS VERY STEP.  HE WAS ON THE BOARD, WHEN ONE OF HIS CONCERNED CITIZEN FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS, WROTE THE NEWSPAPERS, IS THAT A MOVE YOU MIGHT WANT TO USE AGAIN?  IT WOULD PROBABLY BE OK WITH HIM.  IF NOT ASK COMPLIANCE CHAIR DE MARCHI AND YOUR PRESIDENT CONTRACTOR, ABOUT PRECEDENT
