What would be the best course of action if you already had a “good” board member, like say if you live in Wilde Lake.

That’s a feature not a bug.

Think about it this way. If you were looking for this sort of job and saw what the board is like to a candidate they vetted and hired, would you want to work there? We’ll be lucky to have an effective or engaged CEO ever again after this fiasco.

I feel very fortunate to have my current rep. The way he IMMEDIATELY called for the chair and vice chair to step down once the meeting opened had me laughing.

Another great write up. I watched the meeting online and it was quite the show. It certainly seems that a relatively small minority who happens to hold an outsized level of power/influence is fully committed to this destructive path, consequences be damned. While I appreciate that this is all volunteer work on their part, what I don’t appreciate is how poorly they’re doing their jobs.

I can’t wait for Boyd to sue CA for wrongful termination, win a literal lake full of money, and a bunch of CA amenities go away for lack of funding, impacting all residents, and cause dues to increase, while the 10 or whatever board members who caused all of this literally face zero consequences.

Not surprising at all based on ::literally everything::
Looks like the 12th is going to be fun.

I’m grateful that my rep is one of the seemingly useful minority on this issue, but would happily accept suggestions as to how to contribute in order to improve this overall situation.

Third agree that the 29/32 area is the right one for this commute. There are several options to get down to CP, and if you’re a UMD employee they may still do the bus to campus. You may need to up your budget however.

We tend to go with whichever is available, I particularly like the main vets (Carroll H) kids, Julie and Heath, because I think they have the best “bedside manner” and they’re a lot less businesslike for my dog. Not saying anyone else is bad, I just like them the most. Their front staff is great, I just wish they were expensive, not EXPENSIVE.

He was the on call for ours. He was very nice and kind when we made the 3am “ITS OUR FIRST AND WE THINK ITS STARTING” phone call. I’ll never forget it. When we got there he was great and got us settled in for the “let’s see if we send you home to wait” check, but got called into a difficult delivery, and by the time he was done, Dr. Kwong was on duty, who was the most professional and businesslike doctor I have ever encountered and I mean that in the best way possible. She delivered our daughter. And it was great.

Reply to CA Budget approved; board continues to ignore underlying issues impacting the community by goliebs
Is there a good summary of the IAT? I keep seeing comments about it but I have no idea what it seems to do, other than cause headaches and conflicts of interest that seem at best morally dubious and at worst probably a relationship of questionable legality.
