There will always be complainers about community organizations, but when the complaints start piling up everywhere you look it starts to look like a **** pile. So, I can understand one or several people not being happy. You can not please everyone all the time. But I just spent 7 hours driving though my neighborhood today and talking with people and it is just about everyone we spoke to said the corruption in here would make your head spin, and including mobster tactics in here believe it or not. It is happening. If we let these organizations function without accountability then they start to believe they can do anything. One Board member was reported to have called himself the Mayor of Fern Forest. Another stole a porta potty from a house that burned down, put it up at the community lot and charged us for it. They said they bought it. Now this is all after they tore down a perfectly good two stall tiled bathroom mind you. I think we are going backwards. They took down our school bus stop that we fought 8 years to get. This is nothing compared to slicing tires and other stuff, strong arming properties out of people,etc…
They want to say they are doing things but our community lot has been closed for 4 years. Ridiculous !
Anyway, the Attorney General has responded that these types of member corporations are controlled by the members. The members vote the Officers in and can remove them. The members can call special meetings and amend the By-Laws, and see financial records,period. And if they do not you can file lawsuit and report them to the proper agencies. Like the IRS and State tax office for tax evasion, also the State Consumer Protection Office for unfair and deceptive trade practices, the Attorney General's Office, the Federal Small Business Administration. My question about the class cation lawsuit is that the state doesn't regulate these types of organizations like they do many others, and why not ? Look at what non regulation is doing, it is a nightmare. Why should we have to all file separate lawsuits when the State should be handling this ?
Please excuse typos tonight, am super tired
