On the Job One Day and 
Already
Cronies Scared their 
World Has Been Rocked
It  certainly didn't take long for an 
alternative blogger to turn his poison pen on Sun City Anthem's newest elected 
Board member, Nona Tobin.
Boy oh boy, does this remind those 
of you who were around in the past decade of things...when another reformer... 
tried "to make a difference"?
...and of course, when you're corrupt 
world has the potential of being "rocked", that conniving little peanut has done it 
again....
...as predicable as the sun rising each 
morning, even before a board chooses its officers, he's already gone into "attack mode" to destroy the character 
of Nona Tobin.
Is this new?  Of course not.  
Time to go back to a previous time in 
Sun City Anthem history when a man named Bob Frank 
ran for the Board.  Bob was a true reformer, and even served on the Nevada Real Estate Commission, appointed by Governor Sandoval.
...and in that election "way back 
when", he not only won, but  won 
in a landslide being the top vote getter among the entire pack...and to 
this day, holds the record of obtaining the greatest number of votes any elected 
Sun City Anthem Board member has ever obtained.
Was he expected to be voted as 
President of the association? 
Of course, "the people", by way of the 
massive vote total fully anticipated it...
...but no...
"The boys in the back room" conspired 
to make sure that wouldn't happen.  
Sun City Anthem CCRs state that board 
officers are chosen by them and them alone; that they can "pow wow" and decide 
who does what.
Instead they chose the #3 vote getter, 
a man who ran FAR BEHIND Mr. Frank, as the 
President...
...but...
...to make it look good, they 
"graciously" allowed Bob Frank to be the Vice 
President.
(note that Nona 
Tobin was also the #3 vote getter, but this time, the blogger brings that up as a 
negative)
...that is, "the cronies" realized that 
Frank was a bit too vocal and needed to be taught a 
lesson.
And so, one afternoon, in front of a 
crowd that I would estimate was in excess of 300 
people, the "conspirators" decided to DEPOSE Mr. Frank as 
the Veep.
And as they say,  "the crowd went 
wild".
People began to yell and scream, and 
Mike Dixon, the "boy's backroom 
choice for President", having heard a rumor that this action would not be 
the most popular decision the board would ever make, contacted the Henderson 
Police Department to curtail what he believed would be a "silver haired" 
riot.
The "boys in 
blue" were ready, and Mike was escorted to his car in a flurry of boos 
and threats.
And...as a result, when he completed 
his DICTATORIAL reign as President, he was never heard from 
or seen again.
Bob Frank on the other hand, decided to 
run for reelection, but by this time, the blogger had to make sure he wasn't 
elected and that began what has now become a continuous campaign to destroy him 
in any way possible, and that meant a continuous bombardment on Frank and his 
wife that still persists to this very day.
When Bob ran for reelection, he had a 
close association with another individual who was a former State Senator in 
California, a gruffy old gent who "pulled no punches", named John Briggs.
John would be enticed to relocate from 
California by his "friends", George & Bella 
Meese.
You remember her?  
She also ran in that 
same election and LOST, but soon became dear buddies 
with that despicable blogger, and shall we say, in an effort to subsequently be elected in 
the years to come, became...
"two peas in a 
pod"
John would campaign on a platform that 
Sun City Anthem had a "slush fund" that required excess funds to be returned to unit owners, a 
requirement, that if violated, could result in those funds being taxable income 
to the association.
...and the blogger had a field day in 
his constant barrage of insults hurled at both Frank and 
Briggs.
He was so determined to not only defeat 
them, but DESTROY them as 
well.
Regarding Briggs, he found evidence 
that while a State Senator in California, he had sponsored a bill in 
1978....that's right, 30 years prior to that Sun City Anthem 
election, that would ban gays from teaching positions in the state.  
Briggs was a friend of Anita Bryant, who joined him in supporting the 
bill.
The bill ACTUALLY PASSED in the 
California legislature and Senate, but subsequently vetoed by then Governor, 
Ronald Reagan.
Now folks, times have changed along 
with attitudes about those who are fellow citizens, and over the years those 
concerns and fears would thankfully wane...
...but...not to the 
blogger.  
This piece of "old news ammo" allowed him to paint Briggs as 
a racist.
 
But...Mr. 
Briggs, having been in a number of political battles in his life, decided 
to do a bit of homework on the character assassin who was the chief architect of 
defaming him...
...and...as a result, uncovered the fact that "the one calling the kettle black" had a 
rather interesting past of his own...
...that he had 
previously lost a law license for forging a judge's signature and failing to 
perform his fiduciary responsibilities on behalf of a 
client.
Oh, the blogger would say his law license was 
"suspended", but in his mind, because he would claim he no longer enjoyed being an 
attorney, he decided NEVER TO APPLY FOR 
REINSTATEMENT...
...as if any person with an IQ above 50 would retain an attorney with that on his resume.
He also had previously been elected to the Sun City Anthem Board, but that too didn't work out very well, failing to complete his term.
 
 
Now the table had turned....and...then 
one day, he decided to attend a Current Events meeting and straight from 
the Jerry 
Falwell playbook...
... stated with tears in his eyes, he 
had sinned and that he was depressed when he committed those acts.
Oh boo 
hoo...cried the depressed blogger....
.and the crowd fell for the 
act...
It certainly didn't take long to make 
his vicious comeback, and as the years passed, his writings have not merely 
expressed disagreement, but have been an attack on numerous individual's 
character again and again.
"A leopard doesn't change his 
spots"
.
..and that leopard has proven to attack victims again and again without mercy for one 
reason....
...to maintain a political machine that 
he needs for his very existence.
To have that 
machine die a needed death, would be a repudiation of everything he has done to 
control a community to a private end that, when one looks at the results of his 
actions, have been disaster after disaster, in supporting individuals who have 
done more financial damage than any organization can 
endure.
And...now...he's at it again...this 
time, with complete predictability, he is now going after the latest threat to 
his very existence, Nona 
Tobin.
Let's face it...he didn't want Tobin on the Sun City Anthem Board, and in his typical conniving manner, decided to look for an expedient way to DESTROY her credibility and character...
This time...with a piece stating Ms. Tobin was at war with a Board.
The 
difference...
...this time the community 
is hopefully well aware of his motives after his same antics year after year, and will 
finally look at him for what he has always been...
...the most destructive force in the 
history of Sun City Anthem.
(And by the way, 
John Briggs turned out to be right about that slush fund as it took a few years 
for the IRS to finally settle the issue with Sun City Anthem paying a $100,000 
fine plus accounting and legal fees) 
Let's allow Nona to reform the mess and 
clean up the corruption that has existed for years...and became obvious by the 
election totals, that Sun City Anthem is now truly...
...ready for 
reform.

Thank you for enlightening the new people that live here about the deplorable history from actions of the Board and the "power" behind them.
It's about time things change for the better.
We have the "character assassin" to thank for all of the financial failures residents have had to shoulder as a result of his getting people elected that only get us deeper in debt and doing the community a huge disservice with their actions.
Let's hope things will change for the better FINALLY!
Seems that Ms. Tobin is determined to make necessary changes and flush the SCA toilet - and for that reason, is facing character-assassination.
So....my advice to the SCA Scourge and Assassin:
Suck it up, Buttercup, even the reign of Vlad the Impaler didn't last forever.
