MORE WASTING OF MONEY. DOES IT NEVER END?

     Here we are, looking for money to fix the streets and walkways of our Village and we have found yet another way to waste money. If one reads the Initiative of the Operations Committee, one will see that between the tennis courts and the pickle ball courts and related work, WPRF has proposed spending close to $60,000 on that project. Is there no other way to do this? Do we really need to spend that much money on shifting courts and building others? Why are we sitting on all those second bank of wasted shuffleboard courts that never get used, not the first bank which is used by many and by an active league.
     Why do we have our priorities confused here? We are always being threatened that we will have fewer shows (we already do), warned that we had better buy more tickets or else consequences will ensue. Well, how about polling the residents for shows they might like to see? I just filled out a whole form for the Broadway program for Fort Lauderdale as to my preferences for 2015 - 2016, so why can't we do something similar? Make sure enough people will attend a performance before booking. Test the waters for preferences.
Approach the large groups of people living here who do not really show up much at the shows. Ask them why. Ask them if there is anything we can do to include them, to draw them out to come to the shows.
     The problem is that an oligarchy of incompetents and self congratulating pols has developed here in the Village. Check the sign in sheet for committee members and for guests. With a few exceptions, over and over it is the same names. People who used to attend as guests religiously are now dropping out because what is the use. There is no room in this administrative dictatorship for any opinion other than David Israel and henchmen. Opponents, those whose opinions differ are stonewalled, called names.
     Know that David Israel is now scared of this lawsuit. Else why the hard sell not to take part? Why the extension asked for by his lawyers. he is scared because his incompetence and his culpability in this mess will be exposed, the violation of UCO bylaws, the financial misuse and manipulation of funds without delegate permission or knowledge and on and on.
     People, fellow residents, we need to think seriously about our future. We need to think about what is truly important - what is needed, not just wanted. Those are two different categories and we need to think how much we are to blame by allowing this type of incompetence to remain in office, stonewalling requests for information, stonewalling requests to be on committees even as volunteers are being pleaded for. This is America and freedom of thought and speech is an inalienable right, yes, even here in a Village with a president named David Israel.
