I was anxiously waiting to get a HPP board meeting update. I then thought..."no news is good news".I knew deep down this was an impossibility. So with these posts and my husband informing me that our road fee bill came and what was included I feel hopelessness. The bylaw is for road maintenance only yet the board is forcing us to pay for something they knew was going to be an expense and should have budgeted for it(like we all have to budget our income to needs)Passing the buck illegally onto us yet not touching their beloved confiscated chip seal allotment. They present an ill prepared ballot/fee demand in one. No one will understand it and many will just pay. They can not charge a penalty fee for an illegal assessment yet they will. They once again do not have sufficient information or bids for the project. I don't even think they know exactly what the post office has planned but we need to pay up. I for one will not pay it as what is the promise that they won't come back and ask for more and more and more. Once members pay, what is to stop them from assessing us for all kinds of things. This is NOT a road maintenance project. Jo has a loyal group of followers. To many of HPPOA residents are on the "do nothing"train and will remain that way until they have to sell because they can't afford the fees anymore. "Laid back" is a cop out. I know some here will say that I shouldn't comment if I don't do something. Trust me, I would if I could but I am away from home almost more than I am there right now. I am hoping that enough members are mad enough to unite this time until completion. A little flurry will not get that person out of our hair.
