Regardless of whether you agree, the elected Chairman of the corporation has a right to be heard and express their opinions. Post event deletion of statement and events is repugnant censorship, and smacks of infantile jealousy and childishness.

Revisionist Historians and Honesty in Government
The "Arab Spring" breathes new life into democracy in countries long dictated over by rulers who were insulated from reality. Ghadafi tells CNN reporter Amanpour that "his people love him"..despite his best efforts..they "loved" him to death..
Human experience should prove that facing realities honestly is the only way to govern any organization, nation, or condominium association. The fact that history is being revised by the current board, that opinions that they deem inconsistent with their view of reality are deleted from Association history, should cause alarm bells to ring. If any corporation attempted to "erase" events from their corporate record, it would cause shareholder/investor alarm, and the stock price would plummet.
I have been told that two issues of the Tanasbrook Times are missing from the record accessible to the public. (October and September 2010) Truthfulness and transparency are the only appropriate responses to ideas that you disagree with. It is juvenile, and ultimately damages the entire community, when those ideas and opinions are simply "deleted". The issues don't go away, nor do the beliefs of the individuals.
Those of you looking at your annual property tax statements, and seeing your "investment" values plummet need to ask yourselves..were the ideas expressed in the Chairman's Letters that far off the mark? Is hiding from reality working for you??

Fall and Winter- Facing wet weather
The recent roof replacement developed a huge leak..apparently caused by the juxtaposition of the air vent and a downspout. The roofers and CMI were quick to respond. I had to deal with the leak for only two days. There was no significant interior damage ( minor spotting) since the water entered through the header above the door. I still have ceiling damage from the last roof leak..but that is another story..
Do you ever suspect that Washington pols create "political diversions" in order to deflect attention from more significant problems? The fuss over increasing the debt limit ( paying for the charge account both parties developed) is an example. Another, closer to home, is the recent painting of "no parking" signs every 20 feet or so on the curbs. In the 18 months I have lived here, there has never been a problem with parking in any of the areas around this street. I can't help but wonder how such an insignificant problem received such dramatic treatment. Could it be the "Security Committee" at work? Solving all of our major problems?
I see that the budget and reserve process has started again. Since it appears that the current contractor is preparing an estimate for siding repairs on Rolling Hill Drive and Rolling Hill Lane, and there are not sufficient reserves to cover the work..I expect both a dues increase and a special assessment in 2012. Hopefully, potential buyers will check out what the board plans in 2012..and not get a nasty surprise!
