		<description>Todd,
Thank You VERY MUCH.
My opinon:
Not one of us owners wishes for anyone, worker/resident/guest/owner/child injured or killed on our property. Who wants or accepts that liability? Not me. I doubt any of you reading this do either.
The general manager (+board)  should make sure this political, nepotistic, palm crossing crud cannot occur. Seems they have been looking some other way, doesn&#039;t it?  Why?  They are ALL seriously accountable, since Joe is still on property, correct?  For all the screw ups on their beat.  There have been plenty of them.
Again, more of MY opinion:
This sort of thing is what occurs when there is a UNCHECKED FOR YEARS, playing games general manager (&amp; a handpicked board?)  that doesn&#039;t care to do anything in a professional manor, along with that &#039;board of buddies&#039; that bury their head in the sand, allowing Joe UNCHECKED with all of our pocketbooks to use crappy contractors. Joe gets his wonderful paycheck regardless. From all of us owners.  Nothing comes out of his pay, does it? We will AGAIN pay over and over to get the job done AGAIN.  I guess we just blew $84,000. in 07/08?  More bad management and board decisions.  Maybe Joe get a commodity rate????????  Jeeze. Maybe it is more personal than that?
   You know.... Joe told me once when i worked here:
QUOTE: &quot;The SOB&#039;s (his term for all of RML owners, i am sorry to tell you rml owners this.)THEY are gonna pay because he gets 40% and they get 60%&quot;  &quot;UNQUOTE&quot;.   I suppose he meant that, as he said it to me with a finger pointing at my face and conviction in his voice.  Real nice guy, huh. (sarcasm)   YES &gt; I WOULD TAKE A POLYGRAPH.  That was the day i decided i was quitting my job ~ asap!  I figured if the rml owners were called SOB&#039;s then what was myself, a resident, really bad word in his vocabulary, going to be called?
Is there are a handful of board members that have looked the other way while we continue to pay over and over to do the same  job over and over?  Seems like it.  Look at the job of the pool/jacuzzi that had to be re-done due to the fact that the crew that was hired to do that was fly-by-night, illegals.  Much like most everything that occurs here.  Both with illegal, non insured, and with unprofessional nepotism that exists here (friends/relatives crossing palms, or political favors?)  to provide Joe a dictatorship control.
Apparently we got what we paid for.  We are still paying, aren&#039;t we? Time to make a big change.  PERIOD.</description>
