🚨 THE INTIMIDATION PLAYBOOK

 . Step 1: Rush $1.1M assessment (10 days notice) Step 2: Hide results for 17 days Step 3: Vote fails Step 4: Blame residents Step 5: Spend $2,000+ threatening oversight Step 6: Call transparency "false information" Step 7: Label questioners "deceitful"  THIS IS NOT LEADERSHIP. THIS IS INTIMIDATION.

Active Reviews

$1.1 Million Outrageous Vinyl Siding Project

 The board admitted at the September 30th meeting that only TWO contractors were asked to quote this project. No competitive bidding process. No comparison of multiple qualified siding specialists. Dennis Demeglio obtained Just Two quotes - and they selected a roofing company with no track record of large projects over a siding specialist.  Why do they want to use  New England Roofing?

  

BREAKING: BETTER OPTION FOUND - $100,000 IN SAVINGS

The board obtained only TWO quotes. We found a third option that's better AND cheaper.

GOVERNANCE QUESTIONS:

Should non-residents control resident lives?• Is it ethical for rental property owners to vote on projects affecting daily living? • Should part-time residents make decisions about full-time community life? • How can board members represent residents when they don't share the experience?

Where's the accountability?• 20 years of board control with no consequences for poor planning • Decision makers insulated from the results of their choices • No mechanism to protect full-time residents from absentee board control
