I have received mail from some of the snow birds that feel this blog and the Messenger Club paper is too negative. They feel that this is a place for people to rest up from the real or working world and they should not have to listen or read about all the negativism that is published. This negative reporting is due to the fact that THERE is negative things happening in this Village.
I am sorry that these readers think this is a place to hide from the realities of this world. It is not. A nursing home may be a better place.
There are things that are promulgated by the UCO administration, not all of them, but some of them that should not be allowed to happened. As an example. The shutting down of all venues for electioneering, done by Israel. The having the Security Company to pull any electioneering signs, The use of the Reporter to make Electioneering remarks as long as they are for Israel.
We had one Villager write to us and tell us that she did not see any of the friction or any reason for friction. Apparently she missed some of the low-keyed sarcastic remarks made by the Chair during the last Delegate Assembly. In particular the shouting match by Jerry Karp and David Israel.
The price for the Road repairs has yet to be paid. The 1/2 page contract and the lack of oversite will have to be paid for on the next go round.
I tell you what I think.
There are plenty of unfair and unjust actions taken by the Current UCO Administration. Things like firing Volunteers, I repeat Volunteer Committee members. For no cause except he doesn't like them or their politics. People like Howie Silver, people Like the Greggs, people like Esther Sutofsky. All good people, all bright people and all Volunteers.
I think that as a snow bird, you should take the time and spend the effort to see what is exactly going on here in our Village before you criticize.

I noticed you said you received the complaints from snowbirds. To snowbirds, this is Club Med. To us, the residents, it is our home. People forget that CV is NOT a resort. Those of us who live here, and contrary to snowbirds thinking many people do live here, we have a right to live in a democracy because CV is still in the U.S. of America, where many, many died for us to have that right. It's only been the last 6 years that this village has lost its freedoms and we now live in a dictatorship. Dave Israel should move to Russia. He would fit right in with Putin, and he could enjoy living in a dictatorship. He might even become the next leader of that country.
My comment above should read 'contrary to snowbirds thinking NOT many people do live here'.
