Editorial Comment:: Members of the disgraced and repudiated former Board of Directors turned up in full force for this meeting. Their obvious intent was to carp and nit-pick any and all actions of the present BOD. It is amusing to hear the folks who gave away $100,000 of BCC’s money to a “cable TV consultant”, question $5 notary fees being charged at the office.
It would be in all our interests to attend Board meetings and challenge the lies and obfuscations trotted out by this bunch before they confuse the owners who didn’t pay much attention while their assessments were being mis-spent.
Corrections and comments would be appreciated.
