How chilling to know that our Crickentree HOA Board wants the responsible owners to give up their voting power to the Irresponsible owners – those who are up to 90 days behind in their dues. Why would anyone want their neighborhood decisions to be controlled by delinquent homeowners? I understand this is part of a […]
Letter: Is it incompetence or corruption?
March 10, 2022 By
The public is often kept in the dark on government financials when council leadership lacks financial acumen and/or financial integrity. In Bell’s first year as chair the public has not been shown these vital reports: The budget worksheet report The budget organizational report The all important annual audit. An income statement. A balance sheet. And […]
Letter: In Praise of R2 Board
February 10, 2022 By
As always, it is my hope that you are well. Again, thank you for the excellent job that the majority is doing. I join the majority of voices in public comments tonight for which many took their silence for granted. It was not silence; it was longsuffering and temperance, with a hope that these cabals […]
Letter: Still Avoiding Their Responsibility
January 27, 2022 By
I have been doing research on the actions of the Fairfield County Council for a while now and have come to a few conclusions. By avoiding all of the well-deserved negative press from the citizens of our community, they have made me understand the type of people we are dealing with. When you let power […]
Letter: Follow the Rules
January 27, 2022 By
On the agenda for your 1/25/2022 Executive Session is Item 2.4 Receipt of Legal Advice, including Policy BEDH – Public Participation. Will you please ask the attorney, specifically, why members of the public cannot mention a board member by name? I believe Chair Holmes is applying the Policy incorrectly, when she admonishes members of the public […]

Letter: The Forgotten 58
January 13, 2022 By
After asking for information from the Fairfield County Human Resources department, I received the number I was looking for. I was told that 58 full time employees had left the County’s employment between January 1, 2021 and October 31, 2021. I believe with a high probability all of which did not receive their fair share […]
Letter: It’s not cute!
January 13, 2022 By
Sometimes it requires a little insight to recognize a mistake. And other times it is so blatantly obvious what’s going on that it makes your blood boil. We, that is you, and I, have voted for council members in this community who have hoodwinked us. And now we are stuck with them. They vote in […]
Guest Editorial: Don’t Forget – R2 Trustees Are Actually the Superintendent’s Boss
January 6, 2022 By
Please review the portion of the livestream recording of the Dec. 14, 2021 board meeting, beginning at 4:43:40, where Trustee LaShonda McFadden said she has been ex-communicated from speaking to Superintendent Baron Davis and spoke about being placed under some type of order of confidentiality. We should be greatly concerned about that. Does the superintendent […]
Letter: Is 5 the new 4?
December 30, 2021 By
County Council’s majority 4 is now apparently the majority 5. When will good government for the people and by the people return to this community? Politics make strange bedfellows, as the saying goes. But I believe that the definition of politics is still the best way to understand who and what we are dealing with: […]
