On the David Israel private blog, he has chosen to say that "She continues the gouging, a real scandal!" in reference to what you paid for a Transponder strip. He says: "Madam Treasurer please stop gouging our Unit Owners."

He is again dodging the truth, and he does that by telling bald-faced LIES. He is now really searching for ways to turn the spotlight onto someone else because more and more CV people are ready to take him out back and tar and feather him.

He is bringing this Transponder matter up because he thought that with lots of pressure, I would resign my position as Treasurer months ago. In fact, he was sure of that. But, I haven’t and I won’t until I do the job that I was elected to do and to do it to the very best of my ability. So, now he’s jumping all over the place and trying to dig things up about the way I’ve worked, but he can’t find anything that I’ve done wrong, so he makes up stories, puts them on his private blog in large print with certain words emphasized. What a cowardly act.

He is doing this because he and Black are hiding a lot of very serious matters involving vast sums of money, and in order to keep it hidden, he needs Black back in as Treasurer. Then, like Black did before, the monies can all be moved from the seven accounts to one pot and he can shift and maneuver the monies around any which way, con the CV people as to what he’s doing, just like the paving job, -- and you’ll never know where the money went or how it got there. Crooks do those kinds of things. With Black in his back room, Israel can even manipulate funds for HIS pet project, -- the Wi-Fi fiasco.

Note that Israel puts the LIES on his private blog because he knows well that I cannot respond there. I’m not allowed to say anything on his private blog. So, why doesn’t he put the same posting on the public blog? Because the truth will be told and he can’t handle it. He would have an accident.

Alright, let’s get to the truth of the Vehicle Transponder Strips. The truth is a little lengthy, but it is put out to you that way to be sure that no details have been left out. Read on . . . .

I have been told that there is a statement on the "other" blog to the effect that I have resisted reducing the transponder fees inasmuch as the transponder itself costs less than $11.00. It is important to remember that the schedule of fees was established prior to my becoming Treasurer in October of 2006.

On May 1, 2003 an agreement describing the Scope of Work relative to the "installation of a Sirit reader/antenna system at both of our resident gate entrances" was signed by Vivian Walsh as President of UCO. The work was to be performed by Complete Access Control. Quoting from this agreement, the price structure was clearly stated as follows (with pricing valid for 60 days):

TOTAL JOB (tax included) $ 29,937.50

Sirit "new" stick-on transponder tags (1-4,999) $ 8.95 each to purchase from vendor
Sirit "new stick-on transponder tags (5,000+) $ 8.75 each to purchase from vendor. 　
Subsequently, on June 9, 2003, there was a meeting of the UCO Security Committee, Dave Bernstein presiding.

I quote below from the minutes of that meeting.

"1. Transponder fees will be as follows:
$15 resident unit owners who already have bar code
$25 new residents and renters. Renters will be charge an administration fee to renew. $5. $30 maintenance company managers, doctors, WPRF staff, etc.

2. (This paragraph, which is relatively long, refers to the need for volunteers, flyers, bar code and security committee members to be available for assistance.)

3. The electrician will begin this week. Installation of scanners will begin when electrical work is completed.

4. New gate arms will be padded. Drivers will be charged for any damage."

Cue-ball runs the private blog and Black-ball prohibits you from posting anything legitimate and true. One by one, people are exiting the domain where lies, stealing, cheating, defaming and secrets are predominant. Mr. Israel wants me, your Treasurer, out of office so badly that he’ll do anything . . . . ANYTHING short of lying to the NSA.

So, what does all of this history have to do with today? By 2013, the supplier had increased the cost by $2.10. The cost of a Vehicle Transponder Strip from the vendor today is $10.85. Add to that sales tax sent to the State by UCO $1.51 (George Loewenstein, when he was Treasurer, insisted that the State Sales Tax be added in.); a UCO paid employee’s salary including payroll taxes is apportioned into each strip plus UCO’s cost of maintenance and repairs as may be necessary, plus the apportioned cost for the equipment itself – equals $26.75 for a new transponder for a person who has never had one. If you are getting a replacement Transponder, you pay only $16.00. Note well: NO PROFIT IS BUILT INTO THESE FIGURES.

What Mr. Israel fails to understand is that we can’t simply sell them at cost and take a loss. All he wants to do is make a blanket erroneous statement prompting you to get all excited. The Order Form that he shows on his screen is correct, and he signed it on August 26, 2013. But, that is just the package of materials; - - again, add the other parts to this equation, the cost goes from $10.85 to $26.75, AND, THAT $26.75 FEE HAS BEEN IN PLACE SINCE 2005!

This Vehicle Transponder Strip matter is now brought up. How is it that Israel didn’t bring it up when Black was the Treasurer? This is a back-room secret which Israel won’t dare answer because it is part of another SCANDAL.  Robbing you further is when the Village goes back to bar-codes where people will scream "I want a refund." This is another back-room brainstorm of Cue-ball/Black-ball, and they will LIE to get whatever they want.

Note carefully that Mr. Israel uses the word "Scandal" in his piece to convince you that I deceived you. Well, now you know that he is LYING again, - - a common habit of his. What he really needs to do is read all of the articles entitled "SCANDALS" and he’ll realize what all of the real scandals are all about…..HIM!
