Oh No...Not
Again !
Recently it was announced that we have a field of candidates who have announced their intentions to run for our Board of Directors.
We try to
avoid "endorsements" and we will continue to do
so...
BUT...
...there is
one in that group, an incumbent, who, in our opinion.... does NOT DESERVE
REELECTION.
Two terms is enough !
Two terms is enough !

Let us assure you....
....this
editorial has nothing to do with personalities or the character of this
candidate. We are committed to our pledge of civility toward any
person.
This is
based SOLELY on UNDISPUTED FACTS.
For the
past four
years this individual has voted again and again to USE YOUR MONEY to FINANCE HER
WHIMS in supporting a restaurant she was partially responsible for bringing
to our community.
It was SHE who
initially supported bringing that current and continual financial
drain to our association,
by IGNORING
the desires of "the people" who strongly stated....in the survey SHE
ENDORSED...and...APPROVED.
...81% of
them...
...THAT THEY DID NOT WANT RESIDENT FUNDING to support Vic's or Cafe V, or whatever new
name they will come out with as time
passes.
Yet she, AGAINST THE WILL OF THE POPULOUS,
continued not
only to IGNORE that MANDATE, but in
addition....
AGAIN and AGAIN...voted to REDUCE the monthly
rent from the original agreement of $4,000 per month, to $2,000 per month
for a limited timeframe, until just two months ago,VOTED TO REDUCE IT YET AGAIN, to $1,000 per
month...
...after she realized that her true desire...GRANTING THEM NO RENT AT ALL...would not pass the majority of board
members.
In
addition it
was SHE who voted to approve a "sweetheart" below prime
interest rate loan using YOUR MONEY... to a
business that COULD NOT PAY ITS
BILLS.
This
blatant DISREGARD of both the wishes of the
residents coupled with AN UNCARING
ATTITUDE toward maintaining the financial integrity of our
community....
Says one
thing to us....
...a third
term on our Board IS NOT
DESERVED.
... and a vote for this individual would be interpreted
as YOUR
APPROVAL of public association
funds to finance a private business entity which has no connection to Sun City
Anthem other than a renter of property.
...a
dangerous precedent that opens a door to other renters in the future
should they claim DISCRIMINATION by the hands our association....a cause
of action that could very possibly lead to LITIGATION against
our community.
Perhaps the
most BLATANT
EXAMPLE of this candidate's lack of community receptiveness was her PUBLIC
STATEMENT when asked:
"Why do you want to continue
financing our restaurant"
?
Her
answer...
"Because I need a place to have
lunch".
If you find
this behavior as unacceptable as we do...then the answer to the problem is
simple....contact all of your neighbors, inform them of
this voting record...and most
importantly....
SAY NO to
the reelection of....

Opinions
Do we have disagreements with another publication?
ReplyDeleteWe certainly do...this is the comment made on David's Anthem Journal as to this candidate...by the author.
"These two (Meese & Mayfield) are certain to have my support."
"Bella is already making history, because she is the first director in the history of resident-controlled Sun City Anthem to seek a third consecutive term on the Board. What I do know is that for many weeks, community supporters and friends of Bella were urging her to run again, and they are relieved that she wants to continue serving our community in this manner."
We call this to our readers attention:
NOTE:
THE VOTING RECORD HAS BEEN OMITTED in this commentary....yet another "partial" story.
Does he have the journalistic decency to PRINT the FULL RECORD of this candidate?
We think NOT...that would force him to admit his SUPPORT for a candidate that has cost Sun City Anthem residents THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in this restaurant financial fiasco.

ReplyDeleteI can confidently vote for the best Board Candidate based only on their email address. I throw out AOL and YAHOO because those people do not change but rather stick with comfort regardless of what else is out there.
I also eliminate COX.NET for the same reason.
One candidate has their own presence on the web and that likely means they are not driven by the provider. I vote for them. One candidate uses GMAIL and might get my vote.
Another aspect of using the email address to pick the better candidate is the name they have chosen to use.
I guess one can't expect much from we people old enough to be retired.
