The Significance of a 7-0 vote to
"finance" an Independent Business
By now Sun City Anthem residents are
aware that their board of directors made the decision to
in effect, BETRAY their constituents, and
continue to waste community funds on a business that has obviously been flowing
more red ink than the federal government.
7-0...just what does that signify?
In our opinion it signifies that "cooperation without confrontation" is ALIVE and WELL despite the constant denials that the
destructive force, formerly ABOVE GROUND, is NOW
UNDERGROUND....
...THE UNITY
PARTY
...that "group" of controlling individuals,
who have been responsible for WASTE, negative television broadcasts, irresponsible
spending, is still here...
...that the
names may have changed....
...but the belief that YOU are THEIRS, to do with as they
please, is every bit part of this group of directors, as those who had
achieved citywide attention as those previously admitted to the "HOA Hall of Shame".
For those of you not a part of our
community for a long period of time, the words "Unity
Party" belong to a group of people who decided to create a "political machine" in order to gain control of Sun City
Anthem community affairs.
For years they handpicked candidates
and "slated" them in groups to run for office
together "in unity" in order to gain a necessary
majority of board positions. Backers of that belief spent large sums with
newspaper ads and mailings...especially to those who resided in Sun City Anthem
on a part time basis, sending the mailings out of state, to gain their votes in
order to be elected to office.
And...money
talked...and it
worked.
Unfortunately for our association,
that "block thinking" wrought destructive financial results on our community, as
well as actions against residents which even caused Channel
13 investigative reporter, Darcy Spears, to make a special visit, corner a former Sun City Anthem President, and
name Sun City Anthem's leadership to the "HOA
Hall of Shame".
Let's look back at February, 2011...and...The Unity
Party....
...and it's affect on Sun City
Anthem.
So...as a result of that expose,
this "Unity Party" went "underground" saying they no longer existed...but in
reality, they continued to meet, finance, and gain even further control by
"packing" committees with "their people", and
"grooming" some of them in order to continue their
domination.
Though the above dispute was FINALLY
rectified in favor of the resident, IT TOOK 2 YEARS...and
constant PUBLIC PRESSURE...to accomplish it
!
...through the intervention of
several caring individuals, including Anthem Today's Rana
Goodman, and Anthem Opinions, Mr. Fix-It, Forrest
Fetherolf, to do to !
... individuals who have been
referred to as "malcontents" by those who insist on
maintaining the controlling system they developed.
And...that controlling "Unity"
system continues to this very day...as evidenced by this recent 7-0
vote...
...a blatant action in which they
determined that each resident should lose money....
...under a selfish belief that "the
people" want a high priced restaurant despite few patronizing
it...
...under the "contrived" belief that
not having one, will affect property values....
...under the media controlled belief
that THEY REPRESENT YOUR WISHES in this matter !
It is time to finally look at the
meaning of what that unanimous vote signifies.....
ARROGANCE...a LACK OF
RESPECT...and FINANCIAL
INCOMPETENCE.
The question to YOU, is that WILL
YOU CONTINUE to TOLERATE this year after year ?
So...how do you
bring this catastrophic "unified" bunch to an end ?
YOU make sure
you tell all of your neighbors what they have
done.
YOU make sure
that once you inform your neighbors, that they in turn, tell their neighbors, what they have done.
...and then...WATCH if any of them or "their
kind" become candidates to replace
them.
I believe I speak not only on
behalf of Anthem Opinions but on behalf of a number of community
blogs/forums.
...that...with
one glaring exception, these community blogs/forums who have tried for
years to enlighten you of the financial destruction this group has wrought on
our association...
...is
ACCURATE...and...CARING...
...that "misinformation" has not been provided to
you by those publications that have no motive other than protecting its
people...
...but by those
who control official media, control the manner in
which you live, and control the means by which your
hard earned retirement dollars are spent....
A mission...NOT
to REPRESENT YOU...but...TO USE YOU...to maintain a
stranglehold on selfish goals that have proven to
be ineffective.
The future of your lifestyle is
imperative to recognizing the destructive force they represent, and how
important is it to remove them and that "philosophy" at the earliest
opportunity...namely in our coming board elections.
From Resident Ann Thomas...
ReplyDeleteWe have only been here for TWO AND A HALF YEARS , but "THOUGHT" we researched the community extensively, before purchasing.
We have taken the time to try to review various documents on www.sca-hoa.org but it's a difficult web site to track information and difficult to get information from the Management Company.
Does ANYONE know WHY the Board President and other members did NOT notify ALL residents using the Spirit and E-mail Blasts that THIS VIC'S MODIFICATION WAS GOING TO BE APPROVED WITHOUT RESIDENTS INPUT (?).
I thought this community would was "the best" but the management and endless money spending seems to be the worst.
From Anthem Opinions Co-Owner.....Dick Arendt
ReplyDeleteSimply stated, Ann, they don't have to do so.
It goes along with the "Unity Party" philosophy that has become a "way of life" here in our community that has been summarized in the main article.
This group, rather than make the "full truth" public, will instead bury it by "sugarcoating" what they want you to hear.
And their rationale....the same old story...."Why Didn't You Go To the Meeting"?
Well, with about 40 people going, that also means that about 11,960 people didn't go.
Next time you bump into any of them, maybe you can ask them if we'll get a Vic's menu via eblast, but not a complete summary of MAJOR MODIFICATIONS in a lease agreement that will cost every resident money.
Not a SINGLE person that has written to Anthem Opinions nor anyone I or others have talked to, have agreed with that decision to modify the lease. much less a vote of 7-0.
Something that really should be concerning to the public is that one particular community publication has not even mentioned the major change at all. The questions is WHY ?
Perhaps even he can't figure out anther excuse to tout the board this time !
At any rate, in my mind, it certainly proves many allegations as to "credibility" when it comes to telling the "full story".
Ann...out of all this...just remember WHO THEY ARE...and in the upcoming board election, WHO THEY ENDORSE.
Birds of a feather, flock together.

ReplyDeleteI appreciate the opportunity to voice my opinion on your blog.
I would have done it on David's Anthem Journal, however I have been barred from it, not for defaming anyone, not for obscenities but as David Berman claims, for not sticking to the subject matter.
Should David challenge me on this ,I will be more than willing to explain in detail what caused this action on his part. Essentially it was for challenging a statement he made.
Now to the point. Although he continues to print Vic's menu, he has failed to report that the board voted 7-0 in favor of residents subsidizing Vic's, obviously a failing operation. The main part of that subsidy is a reduction in monthly rent from $4,000 to $2,000 a month.
There are other concessions made to the restaurant. Perhaps if Berman decides to report the meeting as he has in the past, he will detail all of them for us.

ReplyDeleteAnd the moon is made of cream cheese too, John.
From Solera resident....Eadie Silverberg
ReplyDeleteAs Solera residents who do not eat at Vic's, we do not feel we should be responsible for paying the coverage of the restaurant for the people who do eat there! . . . . those who want to eat there should be willing to cover the excess charges. We are all retired people, and do not want to support a Restaurant on our pensions!
(Note: I believe Eadie's comments pertain to the Sun City Anthem resident discount---if not, I hope you'll clarify this for us, Eadie. Thanks for sending your comment.. Dick Arendt--Anthem Opinions)
