FAMILY AFFAIR

We received our opportunity to vote today. I'm not even sure why LHM bothers to send out forms and envelopes. A simple postcard with ditto marks would have been sufficient and money saving too! Well, to be fair, there have been a couple of minor changes. Sperry decided to quit before someone asked, "hey, what's with the trees around here?" and "by the way, George, where are the tops of the decapitated fountains?".

Then there is Ms. Apicello, wanting to move over from VNAone and join her brother-in-law Mr. Apicello; her husband is already on one of the villa boards. Let's not forget Ms. Hotz is on the Master Board, and as we all know her spouse is Mr. VNAone. It's a regular family affair.

I found Ms. Hotz's resume to be interesting in that she was a Town Justice at her last residence, while her husband was the Code Enforcer there. Venetia really needs that now that we are beefing up our security force. What with all the cameras, the security force, the gates and our code enforcers right here, we should be safe from all our neighbors. I was really getting nervous about the judge, the lawyer, the fireman and the pharmacist on my street. I mean they really get rowdy sometimes.

Well folks, interesting that the board chose Inauguration Day for the election. No matter, it's time for you to put democracy first. Time to vote. You were given eight names for seven seats, but no need to sweat the paperwork. It will only take ONE person to vote to decide which one of the EIGHT won't be on the board. So there you have it. After that one person votes, the new (old) board will go behind the curtain and choose who gets the crown this time.
