BAY COLONY CLUB CONDO - OUR ILLEGAL ELECTION

Another Stolen Election?
A post-election inspection of election materials and other sources have proven our recent election illegal in some respects and very poorly organized and conducted in others:
  1. Betty Francis, re-elected to the Board, was an illegal candidate.  She should not have been on the ballot and should not now be on the Board.  (For details, click on "Betty Francis Illegal BOD Candidate" under "LINKS" in the column to the left.) 
     
  2. Included in the vote count were 23 ballots with incorrect or incomplete information on the return envelopes.  All these ballots should have been discarded. 
     
  3. Return envelopes were not screened to discard those from owners with any delinquent payment to BCC.  (BCC Declaration, June 1980 Amendment (j):  "Any owner delinquent in any payment shall not be entitled to vote.  Official Records 9037, page 3")   All these ballots should have been discarded. 
     
  4. Random, non-sequential numbers were not printed on the return envelopes.  This was done last year to prevent proven prior years' ballot box stuffing.  We are to believe that the villains have all gone straight?

HOW MUCH LONGER WILL BCC OWNERS ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BE DECEIVED AND ABUSED?  TUNISIA AND EGYPT DID IT.  WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU FOLKS?!

    Meeting adjourned at 8:55.  Corrections and comments would be appreciated.

    NOTES:  In your blogger’s opinion, this meeting (in addition to many prior ones) left a lot to be desired:

    • Microphone and PA system frequently not used and Board comments and conversations often unintelligible.
    • Speaker phone output from Brady completely unintelligible.
    • Most of the Board had no idea what was meant by the two agenda items regarding communications.  Adequate pre-meeting preparations would save a lot of time in avoiding explanations to clueless BOD members and haggling over minutia and wording at the meetings.
