HOPE IS ALIVE AND WELL HERE IN CV

     Despite the fact that one cannot please everybody, and I received a message from Idjit yesterday that I was too happy in my posting - can you believe this moron! - this will be another "happy" posting.
     Things are picking up here in the Village. There is a growing hue and cry about the cameras and the issue of privacy. Even at the gates, yes, security is paramount to keep bad news out of our Village, but first of all, the cameras must be clear and second of all, keep the news on the screen with security. It is no one's business in the Village as to who is going or coming. That is called privacy and sorry, Lanny, DonHoHo and the rest of you guys, you will have to find another source of excitement and way to spend your time. I know it is difficult to give up looking for your pizza delivery to come in, but bite the bullet and try, really try.
     Then we have the issue of the OPT OUT program. More and more associations have been putting forth feelers about this option, have been asking for help in formulating their opt out letter and how to go about wiring up for themselves. It is a sign of hope, a fresh air in the Village. People are not going to just jump when David Israel says so. Now we just have to get the delegates to vote to transfer the funds over to the general reserve funds so that we can start to cut down on the shortfall. Even David Israel acknowledged the importance and necessity of doing this at a Finance committee meeting in the party room and now, as he realizes that his "legacy" of putting us even further into debt and shortfall will fall by the wayside if this happens, now, he is singing his old tune again. Oh, we need Wi Fi; oh, there is no shortfall; oh, never mind the increase in UCO fees that you will have to pay; oh, never mind the older folks who will have to cut out a couple of meals to pay that increase, after all, everyone can stand to lose a few pounds - and the delusions go on. So, delegates - and residents who choose the delegates - make sure you listen and HEAR what the Village is saying. Help us get closer to an even and smoother financial basis - and stay there. We HAVE Wi Fi in the Village right now and the option of wiring up buildings for themselves is a better and more economical way in which to enhance what you have at present if you fee it necessary.. And the security is fine as are the speed and  bandwidth.
     One building has even signed a contract with a company to fix ANY device connected to Wi Fi for approximately $150 a year - for the whole building - and it is a reputable company. Now compare the cost to going David Israel's way and the cost of infrastructure, who even owns the infrastructure and is responsible for its maintenance and upkeep, who will update it, the length of time till it all goes into place, the quick changes in this etherworld and how backwards we will be in two years after spending all that money, the techies we will have to pay to keep all this in working order, the MONEY that will need to be expended and we do not even have a true figure on it yet! Choose OPT OUT, make your own decision, and transfer the money to the shortfall. This is the only thing that makes sense.
     The other important point that makes sense is for David Israel and henchmen to RESIGN - or RECALL TIME is here.
