Just read a posting by Bob Rivera and a typically inane comment by Lanny Howe. Since there is no criticism allowed on that "holy" blog site, I will have to answer here.
Dear Lord above, how can they repeat the same old tired statements that actually prove the opposite and think they are making sense. I am shocked at Bob and resigned to Lanny.
Excuse me, but exactly just who was it that manipulated the vote and the delegates? Who was it that violated that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" that you quote? Well, let us check.
Aha! There were always term limits in CV and UCO until someone was too grasping of power and could not relinquish his office as the law demanded. So he had a vote taken three times! until it was during the dead time off season and basically the majority of the delegates still here were rousted out of their nests and voted as their master designated and thus - voila! suddenly what was not broke was broke! Zombie delegates had obeyed their master and suddenly all was well in the twisted world of David Israel. Term limits were destroyed and the end of days was upon us. So, Bob, who tampered and who did not?
You then go on to list a whole bunch of things going wrong in the Village and somehow seem to avoid the obvious elephant in the room - all this took place, developed, along with other major issues during the dictatorial terms of David Israel. The lakes going sour, the homeless and investors, the lack of contact and advice from UCO to the associations, the lack of contact by the VPs of UCO with their quadrant, busy, busy eating and hydrating on the Village's dime and in cementing their office holding, disintegrating infrastructure, the deterioration of a paper into a rag,the crappiest road job ever - should we call the Book of Records on that? All this and more for the bargain price and privilege of David Israel and Ed Black, in tandem, along with their teams of yoked oxen, who geed and gawed at request and now have gone one even better. They simply do not show up at their assigned committees, so now meetings are simple rubber stamps of His Holiness's desires and we, the residents, are royally shafted and expected to be grateful for this and for the chance to name him Dictator for Life and Ed Black as Vizier for Life.
Well, guess again. We are not taking this any more. We demand answers and hope that Irwin Levy has some. We want the chair to answer questions and not break down into his usual fits and screeches, threats and bizarre statements. No fake rulings, no cutting people off, no limiting of number of speakers - just a simple meeting where truth will finally prevail. Seems simple but I am not optimistic.
I know that sometimes the apathy kicks in and despair at ever getting back and forward to what was and what should be grows, but it can be done, it is being done and despite all attempts to block us, there is hope.
Read the growing CV Messenger. Read the blogs. Read properly into the responses of the Israel crew, driven to respond to our accusations and presentation of the truth in all these matters. Their rag is filled with attempts to hide the truth, to cover over our accusations. Their blog is silent, unable to answer until someone finally tries to and then they only trip over their own words.
Bob, you say that we have presented no answers. Read again and again and again and again. Our suggestions are there, have been there and all that happens due to the undemocratic and limited people allowed into UCO, we have all attempts stymied, nitpicked and ignored. We have the sad responsibility of bringing crisis after crisis to the fore and then suddenly UCO wakes up. How many times did I alone ask why UCO did not help these associations? How many times did poor oppressed Nancy Salmi come for help and get shown the door? How many times did Eva ignore what was presented to her and let the associations go rot in hell? How much did Mark Levy know? How much was David Israel involved and do not say that , "Oh, he gave the donation back." Really! And why was that? Donations are returned ONLY when one knows that there is something really and truly rank about the giver of that check. So David, any which way you look - there you are, right in the very heart of the stink and the mud. Think about it , Bob. I have more faith in your brain power and logical thinking than you have presented here. And you yourself have asked and questioned many, many times why I am not allowed to volunteer, why I, and many others are banned from UCO, even as the volunteers dwindle and UCO is a sad and hollow representation of what it is supposed to be. As for Lanny - there is no hope there so I am not wasting my breath. He will fall down all by himself.
One of Israel's favorite plaints is to moan and grown the falsehood about how much these suits are costing the Village - actually nothing, but a lie stands there, spewing its rank odors into the air. What he does not say and what is not bruited about is that the fight to save the Village is costing the individuals of the opposition mucho bucks, money that does not come easily to us, and yet we continue to spend because our home - your home - is at risk and because it is the right thing to do. I, myself, have my own lawyer and have paid to establish and incorporate a group called The Reformist Party of Century Village, costs paid for by me and supporters and will continue the fight. We are in contact with Tallahassee and will continue to bedevil and gnaw at the ugliness that has invaded our Village, all allowed by David Israel and crew.
Think, Bob, think. And the rest of you guys as well. Think, question, demand answers, open your minds and save our homes.
By the way, off topic, but startling and signaling the end of an era and scores of memories of watching with my then little ones, Maria of Sesame Street, after 44 years, is leaving. Can you believe that!!!
