Superstition Foothills Community

I have to say that tonight's meeting was very interesting. To the woman in the pink shirt who blasted the negativity spreaders: Right on girl!

I missed it what happened?

Well, the meeting went pretty smoothly I thought until they passed the microphone around for people to ask questions. We always have that select few that have negative things to say, blast the board, and never volunteer themselves to be part of the solution. After a comment by one such person, one of our more outspoken neighbors said what I was thinking. She basically blasted him for constantly criticizing and spreading negativity...she pretty much yelled at him, if you don't like how things are going then maybe you should nominate yourself for the board and maybe we would vote for you.

Here's what I think is interesting... That you are perfectly OK with how things are run, and your upset about someone else questioning, and upsetting the apple cart while trying to weed out the bad apples.

Do you not question what happened to the over payment to the garbage company--- or do you just not care? It was A LOT of money... and then we get these mumbo jumbo answers of "well that was our old management company, and the new management company hasn't received the records".  Typical.

Do you realize that HOA is almost broke @ around 44K? This was after it was questioned by the community MANY times about spending on things such as Sun Shades at the park- don't get me wrong, that is a nice thing, but NOT WHEN THERE ARE ECONOMIC problems and many of the homes at that time were going through foreclosure. Why do I say that? Because the HOA doesn't receive dues from those homes, and causes a financial burden. That is just one example of un-necessary spending by our board--- not to mention that none of these expenditures are ever put out to vote--- because they don't have to.

Here's another one. They raised the association dues after a vote during an open meeting meeting. The vote was for a specified amount, but then during a closed meeting it was RAISED again- to an amount that was not voted on.

Has it occur to you or anyone that maybe BG doesn't run for a board position because it would become a conflict of interest for him to be on the board while TRYING TO RALLY the community to take an interest and remove the bad apples?

How about YOU get involved? Remember you're the one being critical--- and remember, BEING INVOLVED DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE ON THE BOARD. I challenge you to pick up trash along Ocotillo or around the parks--- do something other than complain about others who ARE INVOLVED and INFORMED.
