WE ARE MARRIED!

     Yes, we are married - we, the residents of CV and UCO are partners in a marriage, or at least we would hope so. Together we must work to improve the Village, to keep WPRF and its wish list in the realm of reality, and should, by some miracle, a contract come in under what was allotted then that surplus must be rolled over for the next year so that we might, by some miracle, have to pay a tad less in our fees.
     We must work together in trust and therein is the problem. We, the residents of CV DO NOT trust our partner in marriage, a partner who violates our trust with selfish whims and careless, if not worse, handling of our funds. Now we find that they wish to be able to spend our money without even asking us!!!! This marriage is in deep trouble and must be fixed.
     The problem is that the current UCO refuses to go to marriage counseling. And why? Because too many of their faults which threaten this union would be exposed. This is not always the case as there have been some good times with UCO but NOT with THIS administration, not with David Israel and Ed Black that non elected buttinsky, not with the shills they parades out to put forth their garbage ideas, who take the heat for them so they can try to remain Teflon. Well, not working so well anymore, is it? 
     In a good and trusting relationship, a solid marriage, the partners would trust the other with or to making wise decisions up to a certain financial point. After that, larger outlays would necessitate a conference, a discussion and a decision made by BOTH parties. That is how a good and solid and trustworthy marriage and union works, with one side never disrespecting the other and always maintaining contact and transparency.
     Well, folks, this marriage here in CV is in trouble. UCO, in the person of David Israel and Ed Black, in the persona of Lanny Howe as spokesman for them, are trying once again to get ahold of more of our funds, more opaqueness, more disrespect and bad, really bad, financial maneuverings. Just what do they plan to do with freer access to our funds? Why do they need it? Does Ed need more cameras? Does David need some new system to keep him company in the weekends he so eerily spends in UCO office, tap, tap, tapping away on his computer?
     This cannot be allowed. Our financial foundation is on shaky grounds, no matter the Pollyanna review Howie O'Brien gives out. Suddenly we are not going to pay more in fees for next year but also suddenly, what happened to the necessity of amassing funds to redo the massive and awful paving job, you know, the one for which we were told we had to save one million dollars a year in order to cover it? Yes, that one. Uh huh. Maybe we suddenly found a benefactor or perhaps M&M Paving is going to return the money or maybe pigs will fly!! And by the way, just what exactly is going on with security and new contracts and its cost? More financial hanky panky.
     Marriage indeed! Well, we need to get out of this one, fast, for our own preservation. And no, Eva, we are not looking to destroy UCO, only to revive it, to restructure it and quite frankly that is our decision, not yours. Your job is to work with whomever the Villagers send to you as their representative IF that representative is honest and transparent. And by the way, you know all the pool work we are needing, the bad workmanship that you say was not under your supervision or time here at CV, well Dan Cruz was and still is and this type of contracting needs to have his supervision so WHERE WAS IT during those jobs and how can we be sure that a proper job will be done this time? How can you reassure us and show us as this work is going along that we will not have to redo it in three years, again, as is happening again and again. We are tired of having our pools shut down, particularly during season when they are needed for our population. That is YOUR responsibility.
     So people, let us force the present UCO administration into marriage counseling for if not.....Well, it speaks for itself. "Oh, how we danced....." Please, let us be able to dance again.
