NICE AND QUIET. WHY?

     It is almost as if we are not in the middle of an important campaign for the soul and future of our home, the Village. Battles seem to be in suspension, some people were halted in their tracks and false accusations have been disproved. WiFi yes, but not now, not till we have more information and funding, amongst other issues; our money is safe and well insured with FDIC contrary to the false accusations of Ed Black who obviously either knows nothing about this area or simply wanted to cause more trouble - how shocking!; and even the silly comments on the other blog seem to have abated.

     Well, now I am not sure what they are planning, but this has been a great time for me. I have been walking the Village and meeting lots of wonderful people engaged in many activities and it is amazing how much they all agree on some topics. They love the Village.

 They wish to remain here for the future. They have questions about how and where and why our funds are expended and who has the permission to do that. And many of them, particularly those of our residents who are on the more senior side of our population, asked about the increases in fund demands and quite a number said to me they were not interested in this Wi-Fi but rather in having the money to buy food! You see, we knew what we were talking about though Dave and cohorts poopoohed this whole issue.

Somehow we must learn to balance the needs of ALL our residents and not simply just state, "Oh, let them leave."    What has been most gratifying and nourishing to the soul is the number of residents, delegates and non delegates who express great dissatisfaction with Dave's administration. They feel he does not have their interests at heart and is only concerned with his agenda.

 They were extremely upset with the armed guards and the fact that UCO paid for them. They were upset about the paving and concerned as to how to prevent such a disaster from taking place again. And they were concerned about the budgeting, how it is done, how it is prioritized and how it gets to the assembly in its final stages. They are greatly concerned about the quality of life in the Village, with ensuring that it remain a senior development with wonderful recreational facilities and a welcoming clubhouse and bus system and want to know how to make sure this happens.


   Obviously, we said - SUPPORT ESTHER.  We will be announcing many venues at which everyone is welcome to come and meet and greet, to ask questions and get answers to the best of my ability. My email has been receiving messages as it becomes more known and it is my greatest pleasure to have gotten to know so many wonderful people.

    So when you see me, ask your question, tell me your concerns, come to the meetings and you will see that Esther is the best choice. No armed guards, no secrets, no false accusations. Only truth in administration, streamlined and refined bid and contract procedures, more input from our residents, a balanced budget, a comfortable and necessary set of reserves for our needs, an open and responsive administration where residents and their questions are welcomed and their needs addressed.

     It has been a great pleasure for me to get to know so many of you, my fellow residents of the Village.

A vote for Esther is a vote for Sensible Government , Honest Government and Government that is concerned about their Governed.
