    I went into the office today to change my ballot and was told that I couldn't do that. So I asked to speak with Sandy and another woman came out and said they were not allowing anyone to change their ballot.

    She wasn't very nice and said that we can't change our vote in the presidential election and the same was true for Sun City Anthem.

    I told her voting was still on and she said they had early voting in the presidential election also and you couldn't change. What a crock of............

  2. Barbara, the left hand doesn't seem to know what the right hand is doing. One Board members says you can, then the President of the Association, says you can't through his recent memo.

    I personally don't think this is over....that this Board will somehow decide through a legal loophole to go forth with this litigation without the necessary 3,573 votes NRS 116 has required.

    I want to be wrong, but history has taught us that you cannot place much confidence in "the right thing" when it comes to those who have been elected to represent the Sun City Anthem community.

    Call me a skeptic, but also call me a realist.

    This community has been set-up before, and my gut feeling says we're sadly about to be again.

    We shall see if my concerns are well-founded.

    Something "stinks in Denmark" ... and the odor may be reaching Sun City Anthem governance.

    As far as that particular individual, that comment that lady made was rude and sarcastic.

    My suggestion is that you find out her name, and file a complaint with the association MAKING SURE you ASK TO HAVE YOUR REPORT PLACED IN HER PERSONNEL FILE.

    When "raise time" comes, it may have a bearing on her income...and...send out a message that THEY WORK FOR YOU...THAT SERVICE IS THEIR JOB...and...that anything short of that, will cost them advancement.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Next time I am asked to vote for something, I will wait until I have all the facts before making the wrong decision.

    That includes the election that is coming up, although, I am sure whomever I vote for will not win.

    It will be one of the cronies of the current board.

    They have stifled the people that want change. Anyone would have to hesitate to even run and spend money on their campaign since they can't seem to win.

    Kind of like running for president of the US if you are 30.

    You can run and you can win but you can't serve, because you are too young.

    Scary.

  4. Barbara, I know what you've said is a "hard pill to swallow", but there are so few who care to make any meaningful changes.

    Those that do, are belittled, insulted, and mocked at every opportunity by those who "need a system" in order to exist.

    We tried desperately to make positive change a year ago, and look at the result ?

    Things got WORSE.

    So when people allow their retirement savings squandered, despite proof that it is, and then continue to allow it to happen, the only conclusion that can be drawn is the PEOPLE DON'T CARE until something "big" comes up.

    ....As in DUES INCREASE in 2017, and another one projected in 2018.

    At the same time a General Manager is paid $250,000 + $20,000 bonus...and...from what I have heard will be another 4% raise in 2017 ($10,000).

    In addition we have a Chief Financial Officer that is also being paid $200,000.

    Add that up, and JUST TWO INDIVIDUALS will account for $480,000 of OUR DUES in 2017.

    That translates to EACH UNIT OWNER paying $67.19 of their 2017 dues for just those two individuals. (plus benefits).

    The City Manager of Henderson makes a total of $186,000 to my knowledge.

    It's baffling !

    When you have someone question WHY IS THE DUES GOING UP?

    My suggestion is to look at that person square in the eye and first ask them if they voted, and for whom, and WHY?

    If they say "no" , or voted for any of this existing bunch, or can't give you a reason as to why they voted the way they did, just say...

    "DON'T ASK STUPID QUESTIONS....YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED."

    And a party to celebrate a $1,500,000 loss on a building that hasn't been opened for over a year, tops it all.

    It's an insult to anyone's intelligence.

  5. From Carolyn Schmalz...Anthem Opinions

    Is there anything in the By-Laws regarding the dues?

    Shouldn’t the residents be notified by mail before there is a change?

    Just curious.

  6. Carolyn,

    They say "curiosity killed the cat". In this case, it's killing the pocketbook.

    When you "elect" them to represent you, they have that power.

    They notify you by mail WITH A NEW BILL !

    It is hard to understand that taking care of 3 buildings and their landscaping, takes (7,144 homes x $1,210 each = $8,644,240 !)

    Add an additional prospective $120 for 2018 would bring each unit owner's total amount to $1,330 or an additional $857,280 of association revenue.

    The total amount collected in 2018 with this example would then amount to $9,501,520.....as compared to the current amount of $7,858,400 in 2016....

    ...and that is an additional $1,643,120 in just a 2 year period.

    And...we haven't even added the "Asset Enhancement Fee" revenue that people pay when their homes are sold at .33% of the gross purchase price !

    Someone has to finance a GM & CFO making close to a half million dollars...and guess who that is ?

    YOU, ME, and EVERYONE !...

    ..while the greatest number of retired individuals collecting Social Security will get a .3% increase in benefit combined with an increase in medicare premiums ...

    ...which in turn, when the addition and subtraction is considered, creates LESS than you will have received in 2016.

    Tell that to people who still say "Oh, but our dues is low compared to other communities" !!!

    ...as if that is going to make people feel better !

    I wondered what the CFO was making. Now I know.

    It is amazing that we have never seen the budget comparing self-management vs a management company.

    They insist that the management company wasn't doing its job, but no proof has ever been give.

    Very sad.

    THE INFORMATION REFLECTED ON RON JOHNSON'S SCA VIEW AND DAVID'S ANTHEM JOURNAL, HAVE OVERLOOKED AND HAVE NOT REFERENCED THE NRS 116 SPECIFICS WHEN FILING A LAWSUIT BY SCA.

    THERE ARE 3,573 YES VOTES NEEDED.

    COMMENTS FROM RESIDENTS THAT I HAVE RECEIVED SAY IT’S LIKE SHEEP GOING TO SLAUGHTER ,WHILE RELYING ON INFORMATION THAT DOES NOT REFLECT NRS 116 SPECIFICS.

    NRS 116 IS THE LAW GOVERNING ALL HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS IN THE STATE OF NEVADA. ONCE A LAWSUIT IS FILED, IT IS NECESSARY TO FULLY DISCLOSE THIS IN THE “REQUIRED REAL PROPERTY DISCLOSURE FORM”,WHEN SELLING A HOME.

    THIS LAWSUIT, WHETHER SETTLED OR NOT, WILL NOT BE OVER AND DONE WITH IN A SHORT TIME AND WILL HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON SELLING HOMES IN SUN CITY ANTHEM.

    BUYERS WILL QUESTION WHETHER HOMES HAVE DEFECTS, AS WERE FOUND IN LIBERTY CENTER.

    NRS 116 , THE LAW GOVERNING THIS ISSUE, REQUIRES THAT THERE MUST BE 3,573 YES VOTES TO PURSUE THIS MATTER OR IT DOES NOT GO FORWARD.

  9. Mary Lee,

    Over on that blog, in reporting the information to his readers, for some reason the bottom of the President's report was omitted, thereby deceiving his readers.

    Mr. Weddle's PUBLIC STATEMENT on Sun City Anthem'S OFFICIAL EMAIL COMMUNICATION read as follows:

    "NRS 116 instructs the Board to seek a majority of votes allotted to confirm the Board’s decision to file this CD matter. This means 3,573 YES votes. If you haven’t received your ballot or need a replacement please contact the Administration Office at Anthem Center (702) 614-5815."

    "Once your ballot has been cast, it cannot be changed."

    This was either a mistake, or this important section was DELIBERATELY WITHHELD.

    Draw your own conclusions.

    Of course a bandwagon of his minions fell for it hook, line, and sinker. They believe this Pied Piper, despite the wasted funds that have taken place year after year by those he has embraced.

    People can now see for themselves, as plain as the nose on their faces, this omission was just another example of "half-truth".

    When it comes to this continual deception in order to convince readers to vote "yes" to a lawsuit without providing ANY of the other LEGAL elements...

    ...including the legal right to have equal space for any CON arguments, much less even mentioning the negative effect it would have on home sales...

    ... that form of what he refers to as "journalism" is detrimental to a community, and is clearly intended to achieve a private end.

    To paraphrase a phrase that has lately been popularly used, when it comes to this behavior....

    "It's time to drain the swamp".
