Did anyone else read that new piece up on the website today? Did you read the oart about unelected "associate members" a.k.a. cronies? Holy crap.

Sounds like our building use to be. Two Board members were always too busy except give orders to the others and the President like a voice through the clouds (one coming from Florida in this instance). Totally inattentive and real big mouths threatening legal action just to try get their way all the time (unsuccessfully I might add). Thank the Heavens they have been voted off the Board unanomously. Having others interested in the building and helping out is a good thing if they are helping out and in the article the suspicious ex-president sounds like a whiney control freek. It's probably best that her term was put to rest as the "others" weren't motivated to work with her.
