Over $20,000 Dollars STOLEN from LA Club House!

Many not be aware that over the weekend of 16 May 2011, over $20,000 dollars worth of Taxidermy was STOLEN from the Lake Ashton Club House billiard room.

Additionally, while our Property Manager, George Flint of Governmental Management Services Company (GMS),  AND our CDD Board of Supervisor, are not only aware of this major crime, to date, NONE have even filed a police report!  Why?

George Flint and the CDD Board of Supervisors have an idea as to 'who' entered illegally into our club house and stole these items, but REFUSE to take any action.  WHY?

When a resident questioned Joe Hunter about the missing property, it has been conveyed that Joe Hunter simply replied that the items were 'his'.  Really?  

According George Flint and the CDD, the solution is to simply put new wall paper in the Billiard Room!  Really - the Residents will not only be out of over $20,000 dollars but will pay again, to decorate the Billiard Room with funds this community does not have.  Why?

As residents, WE paid for EVERY item in the Club House, including the Club House itself.  

If you are as outraged as I am regrading this issue, call, write, email or fax your displeasure to the CDD Board of Supervisors and demand: 

• the filing of a police report so an investigation can formally commence to discern WHO stole our property and then hold this thief accountable
• to dismiss our current property manager because a conflict of interest has long existed between George Flint, his GMS company, and the the developer.  The records highlight that when issues regarding the choice is to protect the Residents OR protect the developer, George Flint has ALWAYS protect the interests of the developer.  Thus, any and all contracts with George Flint and GMS needs to be terminated immediately for failure to protect the interests of this community.

Disability discrimination

Discrimination against people with disabilities in favor of people who are not is called ableism or disablism. 

Disability discrimination is a form of discrimination or social prejudice against people with disabilities.   The "ableist" societal world-view is that the able-bodied that are the norm in society, and that people who have disabilities must either strive to become that norm or should keep their distance from able-bodied people. A disability is thus, inherently, a "bad" thing that must be overcome.

Federal Law that is germane:

•  Summary of Americans with Disabilities Act:

The ADAAA renews Congress’ commitment to ensuring that all Americans with disabilities are able to participate to the fullest possible extent in all facets of society.  

     By making the threshold definition of disability in the ADA – under which individuals qualify for protection from discrimination – broader, the ADAAA provides protection for persons previously excluded by Supreme Court cases.  

    

     One may expect that future cases under the ADA will now focus less on the threshold question of whether a person is disabled, and will focus more on whether discrimination occurred, including whether an accommodation or modification was unjustly denied.
