Listed below are the general locations of the current eleven board memebers. We have opted not to give exact addresses as that is not necessary to tell this story.
Board members who live north of 14th avenue.
Steven D. Lange
Arlene Bartley
Board members who live south of 13th avenue.
Greg Burton
Susan Ribbilot (lives two houses away from Greg Burton)
Carl Luvgren
Will Goetz
Jim O'Donnell
Cynthia Serra
Lane Lastinger
Tom Hennesey
Kate Hawk
Over the last three months I have stated, repeatedly that having a majority of the board members all located within a small area within North Shore is not healthy for North Shore in general. North Shore has always strived to avoid grouping the board representation all from the eastern, or northern, or western, or in this case, the southern region of our neighborhood. When you group the representation, which is now the case, you have the potential for problems. Such is the situation in North Shore today. We have lots of problems, most caused by this location issue.
As you can see from the names listed above only two board members live above 14th avenue. Nine board members live below 13th avenue. The number of blocks between 5th ave. and 13th ave. is eight (8). The number of blocks between 13th ave. and 30th ave. is seventeen (17). Clearly the lower one third of the neighborhood has 9/11 ths of the representation while the larger northern end has only 2/9 ths. This is wrong and problemmatic. What is worse, Greg Burton and his crowd knowingly and intentionaly stacked Cynthia Serra and Susan Ribillot on the board. Both were Stop CVS'ers. Both were from the south end. Greg and his bunch could have just as easily sought out folks from the north end. They did not even try to.
Soooooo, what does the general membership think about all of this? Write in and let me know.
And for the one or two Greg supporters who write in under multiple anonymous names I will be looking forward to your responses with bated breath.
