Time to Hear Common Sense
Rather than
Sun City Anthem Board
Boredom & Baloney
(Part One of Three)
After numerous individuals approached me at the July 7, 2018 Dennis Bono Show, a number of them strongly suggested that Anthem Opinions respond to the "antics" that took place at the "Meet the President" session.
My initial thought was not respond; however, some things, no matter how much you wish to ignore them, have to be said.
This is one of those times.
I've learned from experience that...
...but perhaps you can make open minded individuals listen to...

At that "Meet the President's" session last Thursday, there were some observations that we believe you should be aware of...
...the parts you will never read elsewhere !
This session was held primarily for Club Officers and from what was discussed, evidently a number of windbags came up with excuse after excuse...to look at the failures of a community they created and embrace...
...and consider Anthem Opinions to be the source of their woes.
As to why an individual or specific publication is targeted for such harsh criticism is obvious...
We at Anthem Opinions have a reputation that "tells it like it is" unlike the propaganda so often spewed elsewhere in order to maintain a precious "machine"...
...a "machine" that will resort to any avenue available in order to control a community.
We know most people don't like bad news, but being a product of the '60s, there is a famous one-liner from Gloria Steinem that seems applicable at this time...

Add that to Jack Nicholson's....
Let's begin with the new president...the guy who considers himself...
...and to those individuals who for some reason, feel compelled to make derogatory comments that show their ignorance, keep this in mind if you choose to read on !
Let's begin with the new president...the guy who considers himself...
No matter what you say about his leadership ability, the one aspect of this individual that seems to escape all rhetoric is the DECEPTIVE WAY HE ESCAPED being named on the removal ballot last fall.
According to the $85,000 accounting firm that THE GENERAL MANAGER (AT THE REFERRAL OF THE ASSOCIATION ATTORNEY WITH THE FULL APPROVAL OF THE SUN CITY ANTHEM BOARD OF DIRECTORS) hired to do the counting, Mr. Burch missed the recall petition requirement to be placed on the removal ballot by 2 votes...
...which was PROMPTLY QUESTIONED with WITNESSES providing indisputable PROOF of the inaccuracy to both the General Manager and Nevada Real Estate Division in hopes that HONESTY would prevail.
In examining each individual page of signed petitions along with an audit of Clark County records, it PROVED he should have been included in the removal election.
...but....
...that insignificant "technicality" seemed to be ignored by HIM, his fellow Board members, a General Manager, an Association Attorney, and worst of all, the individual appointed by the Nevada Real Estate Division to enforce homeowner rights, the Ombudsman.
Accordingly, we challenge ALL of these individuals to take a LIE DETECTOR TEST to state otherwise...
...and...
We'll gladly allow ANYONE to view what was originally submitted, since we have copies in our possession, along with the spread sheet proving legitimate Clark County Sun City Anthem unit owners were OMITTED as well...
In other words, Mr. President, this time...if you are so confident that you have been upfront and honest with those you swore to represent...
...and...
We'll gladly allow ANYONE to view what was originally submitted, since we have copies in our possession, along with the spread sheet proving legitimate Clark County Sun City Anthem unit owners were OMITTED as well...
...after viewing the material, proving our findings correct, any unit owner or owners will:
1. publicly state that fact on each community blog.
And...
The Sun City Anthem Board and Management will agree to:
1. inform the Ombudsman of the fact.
2. PUBLICLY STATE THAT FACT ON EVERY OFFICIAL PUBLICATION from Sun City Anthem, including an EBLAST to all residents of that finding.
Without that cooperation, It sickened me that the "system", or should I more properly say, "the machine" would go to such depths to maintain a phony facade...
...even calling an official meeting that was obviously geared to DEFAME A RESIDENT and PUBLICATION.
Then again, that defines the "machine"...
...never fully addressing the crux of the message, ignoring the obvious, and doing everything in their power to kill the messenger.
How easy it is to forget the many aspects of Anthem Opinions we offer a community...
...the Mr. Fix-It, Local & Strip Entertainment, Sports, History & Holidays, Neighborhood Safety, Local & State News Information...the useful Tips...
...items that take hours to write and publish...and read by so many...approximately 1,800 to 2,000 each and every day, averaging 40,000+ views per month...
...and instead, concentrate on approximately 5-10% of its content which exposes the many questionable activities and decisions made by individuals who affect their lives.
Why are articles covering so many useful other topics never complimented by those who continue to berate our publication?
My goodness, complimenting any aspect of a publication would certainly have an adverse effect on a quest of destroying it, wouldn't it?
Yet...behind the scenes, our President has, on more than one occasion, contacted our Mr. Fix-It, for advice.
But...has never given Forrest Fetherolf, our Mr. Fix-It, or Anthem Opinions, any public accolade for the FREE assistance Mr. President sought and received...
...yet (in "appreciation" for that assistance) clings to a blogger that has in the past, referred to Mr. Fetherolf as "slippery" and a "clown."
Perhaps he and others who continue to damn our publication, might explain the 40,000+ visits each and every month to Anthem Opinions as to to why it is worthy of INSULT when one seems to embrace its contents?
Let's get something straight...to you Mr. President, and the rest of your INSULTING crew:
We want to get individuals out of the community for "a life"...not look at a community as defining it....
We want to get individuals out of the community for "a life"...not look at a community as defining it....
But, while we do reside here, that aspect of it should represent fairness, openness, honesty, and a belief that "we're all in this thing together"...combined with financial responsibility...
...something we have questioned for years, that the blind and wannabes who have never experienced any significant success, look at, as a threat to their shallow existence.
...a threat that became a reality when, despite the deceitful manner in which the removal election was handled...
...one of their own, was removed from office by way of the ballot box a few months later.
We know that a "machine" can't let that happen again, and so...to make sure that is the case, it appears that their latest tactic is to...

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD, YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID.
HOPEFULLY NEWER RESIDENTS WILL START TO GET INVOLVED AND START TO COMMENT AND EMBRACE ’THE TRUTH’, NOT THE BULL
IT MAKES ME PHYSICALLY ILL TO HEAR WHAT THE MEET THE PRESIDENT MEETING CONSISTED OF…
GREAT EDITORIAL, MANY WILL READ IT, AND HOPEFULLY TAKE THE TIME TO REALLY EDUCATE THEMSELVES ON REALITY…NOT WORDS OF THE MACHINE.

Very good !!
An excellent to the point article once again!
SCA continues to go downhill more and more each day like the rolling stone since the manager arrived.
What used to be a wonderful community to live in has now become a community of rules and is now run by a dictator, and we can do nothing about it.
New people think this is a wonderful place, but those of us who have lived here a long time know differently.
I would love to move but Arthur says he stays with the house because he is an amenity.
Example:
I wanted to drop off some papers at the main desk for Rana and was told I could not do it. They wouldn’t accept it.
What an idiotic rule.
BTW...all of us men would love our wives to look at us as amenities !
I love your articles on everything. You are my go to news source.
I find your articles well researched and factual.
We have lived here for 18 years and love SCA.
Unfortunately, we have seen the very things you are reporting on happening:
Restaurant failures, IRS problems, selling off of our golf course, and the worst of all the move to self management.
Thank you for a job well done!
Your blog is great !
You tell it like it is; keep up the good work; don't let the MACHINE & it's gang shut you up !
