Why It is Impossible to
Recommend
Sun City Anthem Board
Candidate
and
Current
Treasurer
Thomas Nissen
Some people just don't get it....and Sun City Anthem Treasurer Tom Nissen is one of them.
After all that has taken place in the
past year, he actually believes this Board in which he has saluted the likes
of Bella Meese and Jean Capiluppo, and Rex
Weddle in their "contaminated" governing ability....deserves another two
years to "lead" you !
These four controlling board members
have shown a complete lack of respect for resident financial affairs, and the
results have been simply DEVASTATING to Sun City
Anthem.
Nissen...
has clearly shown himself to be...PART of the PROBLEM...
...and certainly not its
solution !
Over the past month and half, he has been having a
rough time "selling" himself to residents in his REELECTION
BID.
At the final Election Committee
"Meet & Greet", only a scarce number of residents approached him....his voting record spoke for
itself.
Of course only the one blogger who has recommended ALL of those who have brought such waste to
Sun City Anthem, was the only one to endorse
him.
Perhaps that too speaks volumes !
Nissen knows residents can no longer be "hoodwinked" and easily swayed, when right before their
eyes...
...lies yet another failed
restaurant and a shuttered Liberty
Center......
...due to the DECISIONS he made and SUPPORTED.
But...Nissen's defeat would not merely mean the defeat of a
candidate....
... it would mean the
beginning of the dismantling the MACHINE.
... a cleansing of INCOMPETENCE that has unfairly controlled our lives for
years.
Why, because of his dismal record of sanctioning
all forms of spending waste can no longer be hidden.
How wonderful he has served this community...as
its Treasurer !
Would any of you want this man to handle your
money knowing his record consists of the following actions in just the past year
alone?
He voted to GIVE $70,000 of your money to FSR employees KNOWING THEY WOULD
SOON BE TERMINATED.
He ALWAYS VOTED...100% OF THE TIME...to infuse Cafe V with YOUR
MONEY....and...as a Board Treasurer, DID NOT EVEN INSIST ON
VETTING TWO LOANS...NOT JUST ONE... TO A RESTAURANT....that eventually
DEFAULTED on its payments.
His signature is on
receipts of expensive dinners, a
private party, and wasteful spending on M Resort
meeting rooms costing residents thousands of dollars, discovered through
a resident pursuing association waste.

AND
He UNDERSTATED THE COST
OF SELF-MANAGEMENT TRANSITION by "only"...
90%
The total amount of Thomas Nissen's
original forecast for our association's transition to self-management was $500,000..which included a 20%
cushion.
According the 12/31/15 financial statement, $268,000 was spent in
2015, and the 2016 budget states a total of an additional $657,000.
Adding the two
together comes to $927,000...
...that's 90%...
...above the
original Nissen estimate...while in the role of the
Sun City Anthem Treasurer !
He voted FOR A
BUDGET...rejected by a Finance Committee
!
When one looks at the
achievements of Tom Nissen and considers voting for
his return to the Sun City Anthem Board of Directors, your decision should be an
easy one to make.
Just ask yourself these
simple questions...
Is Sun City Anthem's
financial posture BETTER NOW AS A RESULT OF HIS
BEING THE ASSOCIATION TREASURER?
Do you want to maintain a "political machine" and its
conceited...back-door...decision form of governance?
If that be the case,
Tom's your man !
He's a proud graduate of
the Meese/Capiluppo/Weddle school of "Let them Eat Cake" University with a major in UNCONTROLLED WASTEFUL
SPENDING.
Our suggestion when it
comes to Tom Nissen is a simple one
!
Accordingly, we look at Thomas Nissen as not merely a candidate we cannot endorse for reelection to the Sun City Anthem Board, but one who has contributed to the worst financial track record in the history of Sun City Anthem.

his record and desire to seek reelection?

Unfortunately there will still be residents to vote for him and the current cabal.
Explaining his faults and failures to them is like trying to convince a fish that fire actually exists.
