RESPONSE TO FRANK La Fountain - WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER

My responses are in blue
-
YOU CAN CHANGE THAT
-
Are you tired of the fighting and name calling that goes on here in our village?
-
The only fighting and name calling that I am aware of Frank, is that which normally goes on at the organization that you co-founded; PUG/PUC (Presidents Umbrella Group/Presidents Umbrella Club).Virtually every meeting is devoted to bad-mouthing the UCO President and every initiative developed by UCO. So, yes, I am "tired of the fighting and name calling" that you and your friends promote!
-
 Can not get a straight answer to a question that you have asked UCO?

The majority of the work day at UCO is devoted to responding to unit owner queries, every effort is made to provide legally correct, researched responses, our knowledgeable Officers spend hours helping our Associations seeking our assistance! Would you know how to do such research Frank, or where to look!
-
Have you been called a dissident, troublemaker, malcontent, loud mouth?

Yes, Frank, I have, by many of your friends, and even worse by a current Vice President of UCO, who aspires to higher Office, and likes to shout and curse a lot.
-
Would you like time to think about and debate ideas before they are passed at the delegates meeting?

Frank, those who take the time to attend meetings, and read the Minutes that I have been sending out, know the issues far in advance; they are informed at the Officers meetings, the Executive Board, and the appropriate Committee meeting long before any significant issue arrives at Delegate Assembly. A qualified candidate for the UCO Presidency, attends meetings of the critical committees, or reads all of the Minutes, unlike yourself!
-
How would you like a completely transparent UCO without any secrecy or stonewalling?
-
Frank, how many sets of Minutes have you distributed to our unit owners, answer - none. How many committees do you serve on, answer - none. If you have been receiving the hundreds of Emails I have sent out to our unit owners, or spent some time on the sidebar of the BLOG, you could not possibly criticize my Administration for lack of transparency; your statement is simply ludicrous!
Do you get your questions addressed and answered to your satisfaction at the UCO office or meetings?

Of course our unit owners get their questions answered, and to a degree of accuracy and completeness unheard of in prior Administrations; I daresay, you would not even know where to start, in researching correct data in this arena!
-
           Well on March 2nd 

             YOU CAN CHANGE THAT.

My Name is Frank La Fountain.  I am running to be YOUR  UCO PRESIDENT. I have been a resident here with my wife Joann for 7 years and I will help us get control back to the residents of our village.

Again Frank, you have not served on any UCO Committee, and thus have no Village wide service; you would not know where to start! A vote for you would be a wasted vote in terms of constructive change.All your record shows is criticism, no ideas. It is so easy to criticize, when you have no responsibility for anything!
-
I have been the president of Berkshire B Association for the past 4 years, I have been the Berkshire Area President for a year.

Good start, when you have some Village wide experience, then perhaps you might think about running for UCO Office!
-
I have no political alliances here in our village but I am willing to work with everyone to return the power back to the people who live here in CenturyVillage. I have over 30 years of managerial experience and know how a business should be run. I believe I can work with the residents and different factions here and come to a more harmonious way of living. A way that benefits everyone not just a certain few.

Frank, you are a political force unto yourself, you represent those who do nothing but complain, you bring no ideas, you bring no light, you present no solutions to the real problems of CV, all you do is criticize those who try to make things better!
-
I am a firm believer that a well informed community is more likely to thrive than one that operates in secrecy, lack of transparency and stonewalling the residents as is the current policies of the present UCO administration. No one will be turned away and told that their problem is an association problem. My policy will be to make sure the questions you ASK are ADDRESSED and ANSWERED to the fullest extent possible to help you with your problems. If you are a delegate and have a question to be asked at the Delegate assembly you to will be given the courtesy to get an answer without the outbursts of the assembly which is common practice now.

Those who have received the Emails from my Information Forward Initiative, know that your accusations of secrecy and lack of transparency, and lack of information, are simply nonsense; You Frank are bringing nothing to the table. The only outbursts are from you and your friends!
-
Why are there only a small numbers of delegates at the meetings.Usually only about 40%  sometimes maybe 50%. I believe it is because they have been here for so long and have just gotten fed up with the way things are run. Not just by the present UCO administration but by others in the past..  You see now that with this election coming up you can keep what you have now or put the people that you voted out 2 years ago or 4 years ago back into office or

YOU CAN CHANGE THAT.

Please send our community leaders a message that you are feed up an tired of the same old way things are done.

Frank, perhaps 50% do not show up because they are sick and tired of hearing you and your friends complain, without presenting any ideas!
-
Vote for me if you want true change, the choice is yours

Yes Frank, change, but what change, be specific Frank!
You cannot even begin to articulate the problems!
-

So, to continue to advance Technological Improvements, Cost Reduction, Improvement in our Village; Re-Elect Dave Israel for President.

Also, elect my team

For Vice President

Barbara Cornish 
(only Barbara, no Husband/Wife pairs on the UCO Board)

Dom Guarnagia
-
For Treasurer

Ed Black

  1. PUC/PUG meetings – big mistake Frank. You have bought into their discontent, they search for criticisms of UCO, whining, complaining and providing nothing useful. PUG poisons your mood and vision of the village. Of course the old leaders there are rewriting their histories full of self-praise. They are short on facts, do not understand basic legalities, and played large parts in very expensive village disasters.
    Frank c'mon to the sunny side of life. When you are sure that UCO will help you – it does. Join the positive can do volunteers.
