THANKS TO ROBERT KAHN and VINTON G. CERF

The following Comment was Posted on this BLOG, please reach out and seize the power,  Delegates think about it when you vote, don't let the "good old boys" take away your information access:
-
-Mr. Donald Foster writes-

At the last delegate assembly, Mr. Solomon speculated that perhaps sixty people read the Blog on a regular basis. If he really believed that to be so, he would not have made a public complaint of "intimidation" regarding the administrators' decision to post documents related to the recall petition.

As a homeowner who partially funds UCO, I have a right to see those documents. In the past, my efforts to read those documents would be stopped short by the requirement to physically enter the UCO office and request them.
-
First off, I would have to be in Florida, and I am usually not. Then I would have to be made aware of the existence of the documents, either via the then-censored UCO Reporter, or through poolside gossip.
-
Third, I would have to walk into the UCO office and endure the runaround, flatout bullshit stories, and being spoken to like I was a retarded hobo. I am, admittedly, a lazy homeowner and something of an armchair civic observer, but the condtions that existed at UCO, preblog, would scare off people much better motivated and better intentioned than me.
-
Even now, Officers and Committee Chairpersons routinely brush off pesky inquiries with "come into the UCO office and I would be happy to show you the documents and discuss them with you".
-
These days, I can read a presidential recall petition as easily as I can watch cartoons. If I had seen the delegate of my association at the bottom of that piece of trash, I would have been on the phone instantly to register my disapproval.
-
I would poll and inform my neighbors, and I would remember the event at election time. It seems to me that is exactly what happened to many of the signatories to the recall petition.
-
They signed, the petition was posted to blog, other homeowners saw or heard about it, and the resulting negative feedback, combined with the horror of seeing or hearing about ones' own name basking in the sunshine of the Internet, resulted in public recantations. No wonder Mr. Solomon and other leftovers from "twelfth century robber Baron" UCO hate the Blog and rail about it constantly.

Thank you

  1. Just to let you know that Myron Solomon was largely responsible for the village's $700,000.00 lawsuit. He has no right to complain about anything. He cost us a lot of money.
