GIVE IT UP ALREADY, ELAINE

     The case is very sad with Elaine Brown. I give her credit for trying, but she obviously cannot make it thru the effort and in the end, what she writes makes no sense at all.
    The latest entry? She writes how previous administrations neglected infrastructure and how many associations  that are shambles have basically non functioning boards. Mind you, I am not disagreeing with her statement about non functioning boards but evidently David Israel has not clued her in that those boards were what got him elected as he brought in these near fossils to vote for him. However, for four and a half years David Israel has been president and surely there was enough time for him to address the "shambles". Personally I have not seen these shambles but then again, I have not seen every building. BUT - the shambles that were the roads - Ahh, how well David Israel took care of that!. Elaine Brown says we have to spend money. Now! Right Now! That is what David Israel did and that is why we have  a shortfall and THAT IS WHY WE DO  NOT HAVE ALL THAT MONEY TO SPEND, ELAINE. Finally, how would spending millions on Wi Fi do anything for the associations that you say are "shambles"? So if the paint is peeling and the roof is leaking and the gutters are falling off and the balustrades are cracked and ready to tip over - the prospective buyer will hurry to buy because there is Wi Fi??? Are you out of your mind!!!
GOOD JOB, THAT! PIP PIP, CHEERIO!
     Now we come to the second part of the posting, an excerpt from Anitra's article re Wi Fi, whereof she talks out of , well, never mind the location. However, it does seem to fit the bill for Elaine's plan to spend, and spend, and spend, and spend and spend ad infinitum. However, the statements that Anitra makes are ill founded and fallacious. Go to MYVILLAGE blog and you will see the answers to her article or read some of my earlier recent postings where I explain the situation.
     Now if somebody could explain to me what the heck spending wasteful dollars on Wi Fi that is an unnecessary expense and that can be done in a more efficient manner using Comcast's business setup , just what this has to do with "the shambles" of associations, then they deserve a medal. Elaine, for your own sake, quit the writing or get someone else to proofread or do writing therapy but certainly do not continue this at your present level.
     Now for Anitra. Here is this woman, a renter, and she is on most of the committees one way or the other, is heavy into the IT along with Ed Black, writes article after article for The Reporter, David Israel' s rag, and SHE is going to determine the future of our Village? People, you have got to see through the fog of David Israel. See what this man has perpetrated on us here with his breaking of all rules and regulations, treating the by laws as junk, unless it suits him to say, "If you ignore the bylaws you are on a slippery slope." Well, you are skiing right off your slope, Mr. President!
     Finally, many people were interested in the OPT OUT papers that were available Sunday. They are still available on MYVILLAGE and  will be available on this blog sometime tomorrow. There will be instructions about where to send them. These OPT OUT papers MUST be in before the delegate assembly on October 3rd. If they are not, then you are co-opted in - in to David Israel's plans and all that money being spent. If you OPT OUT, you can do nothing with the Wi Fi in your building or do something. The decision is yours, but the share of David Israel's expenses will not be yours to pay. Again - they will not be yours to pay. It has been months and months that UCO has been trying to get permits for one fence by Southampton and it is still not gotten and most probably not going to be available ever! Yes, ever! How in the name of all that's holy do they ever expect to get a permit for all the infrastructure that would be necessary for this project. Like the big towers and the antennae and the wiring messes and on and on. You think there will be a savings here? Well, do I have a bridge for you!
     If you decide to go for the Comcast program and need help understanding it or where the extenders would go and how easy it is to install, email the two blogs, mine and MYVILLAGE, send a comment and we will get back to you with advice and help. It is not complicated. Believe me, if I can understand it and explain it (see earlier article - TECHIE TALK) then so can you.
