An Anthem Opinions Statement
Who Are We and What Do We Stand For !
(Part Two of Two)
We are of the Reagan belief:
Perhaps the most destructive and weakest element of the "insecure bureaucrat" is refusing to look to those whose life experience far exceeds their own, prior to making a decision....more than often resulting in adverse effects.
We at Anthem Opinions believe that YOU NEED TO KNOW for one reason...
...so you can judge success or failure on the basis of actions, not words filled with false promises that might have a negative effect on your lifestyle.
Have we been wrong not to bring to your attention or would you prefer not know?...
Tax problems resulting from improper accounting?
Accepting The Liberty Center "as is" without independent inspection that resulted in horrific losses to Sun City Anthem when built?
The total picture of Liberty Center repair costs...not merely a settlement that ignored association assessment increases that were imposed...that were conveniently ignored by others to HIDE the REAL LOSSES that occurred?
The fact of the highest paid COO in the entire state of Nevada, along with incomes of the top 5 individuals in management that account for in excess of $1 million EACH YEAR ?
A Chief Financial Officer that is not a CPA, is paid $180,000 per year, yet obtained a degree online?
The hidden "deals" behind 5 restaurant failures that included improper vetting by KNOWINGLY allowing one former tenant to be acceptable despite a criminal record for having robbed 8 Las Vegas banks, or that 2 loans made to another former tenant that totaled $40,000 were neither repaid, but instead were forgiven?
A former removal election that was fraught with questionable activity costing our association $85,000, when prior to that expenditure, all elections were handled by volunteers at minimal cost....yet blaming others for decisions only a Board could make ?
Hiring a full-time a $40,000 per year employee to do nothing but canvas neighborhoods writing thousands of senseless citations?
How individual Board members vote and how that compares to their original campaign promises ?
The recent Anthem Council unexplained additional costs?
These are merely a few of the substantial matters that have been brought to your attention...
...issues and questions that are NEVER disclosed elsewhere...either by a Board, any official publications, or a biased "insecure bureaucrat" who defends a "machine" at all costs !
Just how do you solve problems unless they are first identified ???
They certainly don't just "go away"...they magnify if not acknowledged, confronted, and solved intelligently.
What is perhaps the most ludicrous criticism is looking at Anthem Opinions as a competitor of another blogger !
We find that comparison not only erroneous, but insulting.
Ever ask yourself...
Why was Anthem Opinions welcomed to contribute to two Sun City Anthem Darcy Spears, Channel 13 "Hall of Shame" reports for exposing the problems hidden by many ?
Do you really believe that a major television station's top Investigative Reporter would not fully research facts prior to well documented broadcasts?
And if you still question our honesty or intentions, perhaps the greatest concern regarding those reports was ...
Why did those who created the problems WE EXPOSED, refuse to be interviewed by Darcy Spears ?
They had every opportunity; we encouraged Channel 13 to do so, but THEY REFUSED !
As of November 30th, we have now 2,400 current subscribers to our publication and by the end of 2019, will cross the 3,000,000 mark in total "hits" since we commenced operations in November, 2012.
We now average in excess of 38,000 visits per month, normally publishing two articles each day, five days per week.
And...we couldn't accomplish that without those who do appreciate our information, quality, and restrictions to provide professionalism to journalism.
That's who we are, have been for six years, and will continue on that path as long as time, health, and desire permits us to do so.
And more importantly, this publication is about YOU, not the publisher of Anthem Opinions.
We have no business cards; we don't wear a silly baseball cap with our blog logo; we do not accept paid advertising, and we have never requested or accepted any favor of any kind, to publish anything in which we could or would benefit, directly or indirectly, in any way.
We'd rather stick to our mission...having fun, and being truthful, bringing you information covering a number of avenues...to make your life a pleasureful experience.
Thank you to all our valued and APPRECIATED readers.
Marilyn and I are deeply saddened about Bill's passing.
It is hard to understand.
