Did really say that?

DID HE REALLY SAY THAT?  Read below what the UCO President said!

Stew Richland

For the past year I have been writing articles attacking the new rules that went into effect which denys access to the Club House and pool areas to any person who is running for a UCO position.  It is obvious to one and all who is behind this devious, conniving and undemocratic plan.

  

Sales of units are increasing  in Century Village.  It is vital that these new unit owners, along with our long – time residents to be kept informed on the issues that are facing our residents.  Yes we have many issues printed in publications, and yes there are many blogs that try to keep our residents in the loop.

  

On the national scene, we are going through a vetting process of candidates from both political parties who are aspiring to become the standard bearer for their respective parties.  Many of the candidates had little or no name recognition prior to “tossing their hat in the ring.”

We have had one debate which changed the fortunes of some of the candidates.  Another debate is just around the corner.  These candidates are constantly being interviewed and have made the rounds of the Sunday news programs and late night TV comedy  programs.  Well I demand that Century Village take a page out of the nation play book and restore the “Meet and greet the candidates” here in our Village.

For years WPRF’s position  was to encourage, support and open its facilities to all those seeking elected office.  This tradition was ended with the election of our current president. However, at the UCO Reporter meeting our President said this:

      “More work should be done to introduce candidates to various bodies.”  He added: “Lower level candidates should be brought to the Delegate Assembly so that the delegates could associate the face and name to the candidate.”

This is what he said!  Then why are announced candidates prevented from using the club house and pool areas so that residents could: “associate the face and name to the candidates.”  

Why?  Why is the democratic process being denied to our candidates and residents?  Fear that those who are in will be swept out by change?  This seems to me that our leaders have taken a page from Niccolo Machiavelli book The Prince on how a prince should rule his fiefdom.

Well I challenge our Prince, to take his own advice and allow the fresh air of democracy back in the Village.  Lets see if he listens to his dy. It is timeown counsel.

He needs some help. Resign already. Editor.
