happen if those eight directors lost just one seat.

One opposing candidate that ran during this election was named Leah Graham. Previously, Leah was a big vote-getter when she was on the board before. could have won a seat on the board during this recent election? Absolutely!

Therefore, the majority of the directors knew that they would have to give up control of the board if they lost that one seat. And, they knew what would happen after they lost that one seat.

To start, they knew that we would stop a lot of nonsense and senseless spending that goes on here. For instance, what do you think about all of the annual carrying charge increases that we have received? Well, from my perspective, all of those increases

Example: Why do we have 900 employees plus outside contractors working here? Do you actually think that we can continue to afford this nonsense here? No! Therefore, we need to create a voluntary early retirement program so that we can reduce our payroll. Now, what about paying some contractors $18,000 just to restore a 1-bedroom apartment?

There was a broker that made over $230,000 just ministering our claims. However, there were just a can go on and on about a lot of nonsense that goes on here. But, can you see why this election was so we could have stopped all of this nonsense if we had the majority vote? easy. Therefore, based on all of the facts, can you see why those eight directors voted to not extend this election?

The Quorum

We need to get our politicians to change the Busiers will not be needed in a co-op board election.

The Riverbay Fund

Did you know that a resolution was previously created so that the Riverbay Fund could get $150,000 a year from your pockets? Do you have a group here? If yes, have you ever applied for or received any money from this Riverbay Fund? No? Why not? Wait until you read my next viewpoint.

Close

Did you know that only 21 percent of all regismayor? Now, did you hear any complaints about the other registered voters that did not vote? No! Why not? Look, you get the most votes, you win. No nonsense! We need this type of election here. Thank you.

However, what about the other seven directors on the board? Well, we knew that we did not have the tion. Regardless, everyone knew exactly what would their slate.
