Help...We're
Drowning
in
Debt and Laughter
!
If you haven't yet seen the latest
video that included Larry Hughes, owner of Vics "whatever their new name will be" restaurant; Bella
Meese, member of the board of directors, whose newest FOR PROFIT
publication with her husband appears to be capitalizing on her elected
position; and Larry Carroll, the moderator and new
chief of Sun City Anthem communications......
DON'T
BOTHER !
.....unless of course, you enjoy a hardy laugh alongside a stiff dose of comical propaganda.
After painstakingly making my way
through the self-absorbed bunch of sliced lunch meat better known as baloney, I could come to only one conclusion...a last ditch effort to save a sinking
ship.
...this time appealing to sympathy for a poor guy who has tried so hard....made so many changes...and spent more of YOUR MONEY...
...yet still.....can't seem to make a buck !
This garble made an attempt at trying
to convince the residents that "we got what we asked for" in choosing this
venue.
...and...a subliminal shot across the
bow, that the future of this restaurant, will involve requests for EVEN MORE RESIDENT MONEY
come 2015.
Well now....what we really got, was what THEY DECIDED WE SHOULD GET, not
what the community wanted; and therein, the stage was set for the remainder of
this latest ridiculous slice of "propaganda".
Somehow, nothing was said in the video
about the part of the survey that said 81% of the people
said NO to MEMBER FINANCING.
Of course not, placing that statistic into the interview would have acknowledged the truth...and killed the purpose of the interview.....
...begging for a few hundred people out of 13,000 to PLEASE eat my food !
For those of you who resided in Sun
City Anthem when this latest edition of "restaurant musical
chairs" was developed; prior to this venture, there had existed failure
after failure of one eatery after another as a result of POOR PLANNING, BACKDOOR DEALS,
and ignoring the continued pleas of a number of blogs who, according to the gurus, provided "misinformation" when such ignorant sources urged BACKGROUND CHECKS of those chosen for that space in the
past.
Those evil sources of "misinformation" made BOARD
MEMBERS fully aware of one tenant having a past that included current
litigation against them, and that the eventual "chosen one" at the
time, had been married to an individual who WAS CONVICTED OF
ROBBING A NUMBER OF LAS VEGAS BANKS, serving hard time in a Colorado
federal penitentiary.
What did the distinguished leadership
do with that information?
THEY IGNORED
IT...
After all....what do such ignorant individuals that provide worthless "misinformation" know about anything !
...and of course, what happened?
They bailed.....
...selling it to another individual,
who...ONCE AGAIN, after those same ignorant "misinformation sources" informed board members of a
BACKGROUND ISSUE that HE TOO, had a problem with a
$150,000 outstanding court judgment against him for in excess of 12
months that had a first call against any revenue generated by that person.
Well....Guess what they did with that "misinformation" nonsense ?
THEY IGNORED THAT AS
WELL.
Oh well....those damn blogs and those ignorant malcontents were
conveying "misinformation" again !
Just how much of the property did our
association ever retrieve after the trucks cleaned out the space? No one seems to even care about that either.
Oh well...besides, it came from "blog misinformation".
Then comes this latest tenant.....who, with a straight face, in the video, claimed the prices weren't high....that a restaurant venue takes
time to develop, and that his attempt to make it a success had to involve HIS
MAKING valuable concessions.
His valuable concessions?
Here we go with the propaganda again
!
What was he giving up?
Wow....what a deal we were getting.
Of
course something was left out of the video.....you know, obviously the
"misinformation" the blogs seem to spew....
You see....no one was using his
catering business because of one key word...
"poor"
...and that word "poor" included the big three for any
restaurant: the FOOD, the SERVICE, and the PRICING.
Now of course, this "great concession" in which...
...losing
NOTHING....
...because you had
NOTHING....
....as a result of the three "poors"...
...evidently was the "deal of the
century" to a board that somehow had difficulty in understanding basic
mathematics.
And so...to acknowledge this act of
"great concession", a benevolent group of leaders, more properly referred to as
a Board of Directors, decided to cut the rent in half to $2,000 per
month.
...creating a monthly loss that could
only be subsidized in one way....
...the residents !
Their attitude toward residents
in purposely losing association funds?
"Let them
Eat..........S...T ruedel"
It has been established that the Sun
City Anthem NET COST of that restaurant space is $4,000 per month, and according
to what Sister Zoe taught me in kindergarten...
Cost of $4,000, less getting $2,000 in
return, still represents losing $2,000...EACH AND EVERY
MONTH.
Perhaps we need more members of a
Finance Committee with MBAs to explain how we "got a
deal".
Of course, we haven't even mentioned
the new restaurant equipment that the residents "forked out" to help this
generous individual who has made such concessions in his devotion to our
community.
So...who is to
fault?
"Certain blogs" according to Director Bella
Meese.
After all, she's expressed her belief
she "needs a place to have lunch", and of course, that means YOU AND I should be
honored to pay for it.
Her background prior to becoming a
Board Member in which to make financial decisions?
A "community
organizer".
Need I say
more?
Yes, I
will...two things !
First, If you have a case of
insomnia, here's the propaganda in its entirety.
Second, Mr. Hughes....please pay your
own bills.
It would be such a welcome change and us blogs would be more than happy to stop providing ...
...misinformation !
