MISSTATEMENTS

[louiem]

JUST WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS A COUPLE OF STATEMENTS POSTED HERE. THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN WHERE BOARD MEMBERS LIVE(3 LIVE ON PAVED ROADS) AND WHERE ROCK IS DROPPED ON THE SIDE ROADS. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN ONGOING NOW FOR MANY YEARS. IF YOU LIVE ON A SIDE ROAD AND HAVE SOME BIG HOLES, JUST CALL IN OR EMAIL IN OR COME TO A MEETING AND REQUEST ROCK TO BE DROPPED, GIVE THE ROAD AND CLOSEST POLE NUMBER. THAT REQUEST THEN GOES ON A LIST AND AS MONEY IS ALLOCATED, ROCK IS DROPPED ACCORDINGLY, DOWN THE LIST. SO FAR THIS YEAR $ 5877.19 HAS BEEN SPENT ON THIS PROGRAM(THAT'S ALOT OF ROCK). ALSO, THE MONTHLY MEETINGS ARE OPEN TO ALL WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME AND GIVE THEIR INPUT OR ASK QUESTIONS, I'M NOT SURE WHY ANYONE WOULD SAY TO BE AFRAID TO COME AND VOICE THEIR OPINIONS?? EDEN ROC ESTATES ASSOCIATION HAS TRIED TO MAKE IT VERY EASY FOR PEOPLE TO COMMUNICATE TO THE BOARD BY CREATING THIS WEBSITE, ESTABLISHING A MESSAGE PHONE, AND HOLDING MEETINGS EVERY MONTH.
ALOHA

You're kidding right!? Trying to make decent for the public eye for all who view this form? I've been to some of those meetings. No pull my leg! Since when, seriously LOUIE (Not a board member responding!) do people (members) get to voice their opinion or ask questions. Let's be real here. When members do try to attend the meetings, be invovled, give input or ask questions an environment of anger, frustration, distrust and dismissiveness ensues causing said members to say f**k this and leave; never to return. THAT is why this board continues to have basically the same (alright, I'll be on the board if no one else will) reluctant people every year.
You think I'm afraid?

MUCH AS AT THE BOARD MEETINGS, PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO TELL THE TRUTH WITHOUT BEING ATTACKED. THOU DOST PROTEST TOO MUCH, METHINKS!
