CRE Are you ready for this?

[hotcoffee]

I just heard that they intend to bring a ballot question again to raise the dues.... in this economy....

I also heard that they don't intend to allow us to vote up or down.... just how much up!

I also heard that one of the amounts is an increase of the CPI over the past 10 years!

Fire the whole shiftless, worthless lot of them.

You're telling us there isn't a cap on the amount CRE can increase dues each year? I find that very hard to believe, but if it is true, maybe it's time the members forced a ballot issue to change the by-laws!

It may be time for "Ranch Club Tea Party". Raising the dues for what? So more money can disappear with no accounting for it?? Someone needs to organize enough members to refuse to pay dues unless and until a full accounting of where each dollar goes is made. I know if we still owned property there I'd be first in line.

VOTE OUT ALL THE INCUMBENTS!

START OVER FRESH!

Introduce an amendment to the By-Laws that has
TERM LIMITS such that a board member cannot
run for at least two terms after his/her term is over!

TERM LIMITS should be for ONE TERM ONLY! This should
also apply to Committes as well! The time of "dynasties"
and "petty empires" are OVER!

Yes, people SHOULD band together, meet OFF-SITE (to
avoid intimidation by the Board) and get a slate of members
together and run AS A GROUP against the sitting board!
It was done before (CREPO) and it can be done again!
As for term limits and getting things done, if the board
does something actually beneficial, then the new group
would have no problems supporting the efforts of their
predecessors. For continuity, the terms of the board could
be lengthened an extra year, but TERM LIMITS should be
imposed!

I'm surprised that there is not a class-action suit by members
against the board and the corporation because of the lack
of transparency, the secrecy, the outright contempt that
the board shows towards the homeowners, and the scoffing
at the State Sunshine Meeting Laws. (among other things)

There are LESS employees, there is LESS work performed,
there are MORE problems and there is MORE money being spent
than ever before! As the litTle lady used to say..."Where's
the beef?!"

We have board members who have used their board positions
to become major employees of POACRE, we have board members
who have used their board positions to gain access and control
over vital POACRE records and accounts, we have board members
who have used their board positions to further their political
agendas with the county (at POACRE expense) and we have
had board members who have used their board positions to
enhance their personal and occupational positions.

IT'S TIME FOR A TEA PARTY! THROW 'EM OVERBOARD!

They will just put a lien on your property and when it is sold they will be paid for the proceeds. If your sale doesn't generate enough to pay all outstanding liens then you still owe the money!!!
