2014-15 Ballot Misleading!

When did the ballots come out? Does anyone know if they are at the office for pick up?
Thank you

I knew KL would pull something like this when he said in a meeting in a voice of mock horror "If we put $70 increase on the ballot, people will look at it and say they can't afford it" (not quote but the gist)


I don't think this is all KL, he doesn't strike me as being that smart OR that clever. I would think its the director who seems to be silent in recent weeks, DB is a snake in the grass and hasn't made a peep lately .

You make a very important point--the integrity of ratifying the budget has been corrupted.  The purpose of the budget vote is to approve or disapprove the proposed budget and assessment.  This board has introduced a separate SECOND decision into the question.  

The people who want the internet but DO NOT approve of the budget do not have a voting option that reflects those two separate decisions.  If they want the internet, they MUST ratify the budget and dues increase-thus tainting the process of budget ratification.

This Board has corrupted the budget ratification process.  I do not think they know what they are doing. Certain people are so desparate to ram this internet thing through that they have lost sight of tending to true business of SLohA.  It concerns me a lot why this internet fee is so critical as to ignore their own attorney's advice and risk a legal cH allenge to the budget ratification process.  No matter what the outcome is-- it is invalid because the budget question is not a stand-alone question--it is polluted by a second issue.  The responsible option is to vote NO on the first option and do this all over again (voluntarily) in true SLR "Git 'er done..again" fashion.

My prediction is that we will end up doing the entire vote over again (involuntarily) due to a legal cH allenge.  And, while we're at it, we should vote to remove this Gang from their fiduciary position.

our treasurer said they need the increase in the budget because "the budget requires it" but not once did anyone ever say why they needed this money. I doubt our treasurer did any of the preparation of the budget--it was mostly the management co. and they are they ones adding that increase on--yet why aren't we told why they need this increase? They had more than enough money to run this place, but chose to waste it instead, as long as they are wasting money, spending it hand over fist and as fast as it comes in, there will never be enough and they will always be asking for a budget increase every year.
Not once did we ever see them trying to cut costs in here--there can be ways to do that, yet they extravagantly waste our funds then keep coming back to us to beg for more--THIS IS BULL SHIT AND IT'S HIGH TIME THIS COMMUNITY WOKE UP TO THIS MANAGEMENT'S AND BOARD'S FLAGRANT ABUSE OF MONEY AND POWER!

This Ballot is a Fraud.... Residents need to stand up at the next BOD Meeting, and make it clear to These Weasels, so they cannot claim they did not realize the Ballot Fraud.... A Weasel, one who is deceitful. Our BODs just keep climbing farther out on a limb. It will hang-um, in time.

It is true, the Ballot is corrupt and it is intentional . The Majority in SLR are totally oblivious to what is behind the scenes with this BOD & Management Co. .

Everyone is distracted by a cheap and obsolete Internet system proposal by an extremely lousy business man , Americans & Canadians alike are only being used as pawns .

Very few in SLR pay any attention to what's really wrong with the Internet proposal but with the wording of nearly every line on every page of the Ballot .

Internet guy & BOD are pulling the wool over just about everyone's eyes , rants by the BOD Pres. , and total blathering from Mr. B.S. of KCN about Subpoena's and filing in Federal Court that all stems back to ONE letter to the BOD asking one simple question .

The Letter is none of KCN's concern yet his tirade on St age showed he is considering himself equal to the BOD and will say what he wants and goes unchecked by the BOD . OUT OF ORDER is what should have been told to Mr. BS .

What's disgusting is the fact that an outside source such as Management Co. has taken over nearly everything in SLR and made a huge mess of things. The elders in SLR don't seem to mind but I could imagine that all these things would not have been tolerated 20 years ago by the "Greatest Generation" .

What has happened to the men and women that have been in SLR all the past years and wouldn't allow what's going on today ?

They all have become complacent, watch too much Price is Right, Maury, Springer, Judge Jew-D and the list goes on. What a shame that many are so willing to sell themselves and the place they kept simple have sold themselves for the promise of a $15 internet with no contractual language.

What a shame that they have let themselves become puppets and pawns and refuse to think for themselves or even question the actions of the MANBOD .

What a shame that they allow liars to run off at the mouth and run good people into the ground without anything to back up what they say. The very people that are calling MANBOD out on all their wrong doings .

I understand time is short for some and they know it , some hate the world and everyone in it but their world is only within the confines of SLR . That doesn't make it right to cause misery on others who have come into SLR at a younger age like they did many years ago.

I'm sending a shout out to Mr. Grim Reaper . Hey buddy can you bring that sling blade and help clean out some dead wood around here ?


The bottom line is that some of us younger folks know exactly what's going on in SLR. We are smart, we know how to look at things and how to think for ourselves .
We also have skills that come from the real world, Many understand Government and have worked in Government other than just being in the military and jumping out of airplanes .

We are the ones that don't give up, don't leave and wont leave . We will always question authority and seek the truth by whatever means necessary and also not commit crimes against our fellow residents at the whim of some windbag with a grudge that cant back himself up in person one on one . (You know who you are)

I don't like to run on like this but this forum is the only place in SLR where you can tell it like it is, there is never the opportunity to say what needs to be said to those that need to be told as they have too short of an attention span, have a battleship mouth and a rowboat ass , just want to get away because in a battle of wits they know they are unarmed, the list goes on forever......

Thank you to all that took the time to read my post and understand my direction .

I truly enjoy every day I spend in SLR, even with what I see going wrong. I realize its not the park but some of the people that run the show that have no clue about anything that's related . Those people are the minority now and days are short for them . I understand their desperation and feelings of loss of any control in their lives so they must destroy it for others who will remain here long after they depart this world.

I can only imagine the world they will enter next , you reap what you sow . I see a Lake of Fire for many of them. ENJOY !

I Will Not Shut-Up & Sit-Down, Plus I Will Not Move.
What I Will Do Is Keep Our BOD's Nose To The Grind !!!

"Spread The Truth With Boldness & Pass It Forward".....
