OUT OF ORDER

     Anyone living in Century Village WPB knows the sounds of those words. All one has to do is attend a meeting "chaired" by David Israel, and those words will be voiced often and inappropriately.
     You see, the problem is simple. The Grand Poohbah cannot control an ever increasing opposition towards himself and his cronies and against the shenanigans he pulls all the while claiming to do so for the benefit of the residents. Read my previous blog CUI BONO for further elaboration of that theme. In any case, the opposition has become increasingly vocal and increasingly energetic and the Poohbah is becoming increasingly frantic to protect his self proclaimed fiefdom.
    When a supposed leader of an entity, whatever the size or purpose of said entity, loses contact with the rank and file of that entity, when he/she loses the sense of kinship, of knowing the temperature of the members, does not understand their needs and desires nor cares to - then it is time to go.
     If the increasingly hostile and useless leader refuses to do the right thing and resign, then it is incumbent upon the members of said entity to rise up against this person and virtually disempower him. How? By simply voting NO NO NO on any proposals that are put forth that do not have a solid and sensible reasoning behind them, that have not been open to the members for examination and questioning for a reasonable amount of time - not 15 minutes. It is by denying success to proposals that are twisted and turned until they say what was never said. For example, if changing the date of inception of the budgetary year was approved, it does not mean ipso facto that the amount paid was to change and be automatically approved, especially so when the fiscal explanations and budgets were ridiculously unclear, fudged up and contained mysterious amounts of "floating" money.
     It means that the electorate MUST be sure to show up at the delegate assembly in order to stave off attempts to reinstate what was so thoroughly turned down, voted against in a landslide vote. It means that people must step up to the plate and stand up to the implied threats and intimidation and realize that the Grand Poohbah CAN DO NOTHING TO YOU OR TO YOUR ASSOCIATION. I REPEAT - NOTHING. It means that people must put forth their names and the names of people with the will, the drive, the knowledge,  and urge them to run for office so that this rotten situation will crumble from within.
     It means that the next time this man calls out "Out of Order" and bangs that damned gavel of his, we must stand up and say APPEAL and for votes we must call for DIVISION. We must stymie his every effort to stymie and thwart us and turn him down when he applies for Wi Fi again and again, when he tries to pull a budgetary coup on us ( and by that I mean stick with your budgetary figures from last year minus the Wi Fi fee, etc.) Remember, Andy Rosen works for Seacrest, which in turn means he works for you and takes orders from your association and not from UCO as it concerns your association.
     OUT OF ORDER? HE MOST CERTAINLY IS.
