What has the Lake Ashton Leadership actually done for its Residents? Part 2

To All Lake Ashton Residents:

There is a forthcoming CDD meeting (will be held Friday, July 12 at 9 am in the Ballroom) to discuss the deteriorating roads of our community.  

For those residents who have recently moved to the LA community and for the long time residents, I encourage your attention to the the following link  http://lakeashtontherestofthestory.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html where the road way problem was addressed.

In summary:  Past and current CDD leadership have misled both  this community but also the lawyers 'we' paid to represent us, the Residents, interests regarding this issue.

In the referenced posting, Jack and Brenda Van Sickle, Jake Eaton, Paul and Carol Pontious, Margot and Keith Stevens, Carol Hanson, Jackie Perez, Frank Ota, David Ross, Murray Zacharia, Steve Mattox, Jim Moyer, Jo Ann and John De Winkler, Sonny Robinson,  Jeffery Salvin - ALL of these people have intentionally lied to this community and to the lawyers hired to protect our, the residents, interests, by not informing the lawyers of the full scope and magnitude of the life long, multi-million dollar road repair issue facing this community.

Why would these residents who have held or hold elected office would lie about this issue is anyone's guess, but the facts are the facts.  Either these 'leaders' are incompetent  or that they are invested with the Developer.  Maxwell (the developer) had sold to many in this community, via Robert Ference (a Lake Ashton resident) company, an investment based upon Maxwell's financial holdings, of which many of the aforementioned people, have or are invested.  In short, these 'leaders' have been protecting their OWN financial interests at the expense of the financial interests of the Residents.  

Since 2006, The Lake Ashton AdHoc Committee, has attempted to educate all Lake Ashton Residents about this issue and the financial impact, both to the future value of our property and direct impact to our wallets each and every year.

The Carpetbaggers have worked very hard via the Lake Ashton Coconut Telegraph, (word of mouth) to demonize anyone who challenges their views on this or any issue.  

It is time for all Residents to do their own due dillegence regarding this issue.  GET the facts and do not rely on what someone tells you to be the facts.  The failing road issue will NOT go away just because 'we' do not like the issue -- sticking our heads in the sand clearly isn't solving this issue.

on 22 May 2011, below is what was posted regarding what these 'leaders' did regarding this issue: 

What these ‘leaders’ have said / done
What these ‘leaders’ are saying / doing now
Regarding the Lake Ashton Roadways:
Regarding the Lake Ashton Roadways:
·        There is NOTHING wrong with our roads
·        Less than a year after wasting $78,000 dollars by not following through with law suit and failure to inform the Lawyers that Lake Ashton faces a multi-million dollar life long road repair problem, NOW suddenly our ‘leaders” recognize that Lake Ashtonroadways are failing
·        Lied to the Residents by misrepresenting the truth and the extent of the problem
·        Refuses to file a law suit against the FOUR companies (3 of which are still in business) , that were responsible in the building our defective roadways
·        Resisted and fought against obtaining  engineering assessments regarding the statues of our roadways
·        INSTEAD of holding those who built these defective roadways accountable. are making plans that will cost the Residents hundreds of thousands of dollars to attempt to repair our failing roads
·        Wasted $78,000 of residents money by NOT informing lawyers that there was a lifelong, multi-Million road repair problem
·        That is right – these ‘leaders’ much rather reach into YOUR pocket to pay for the life long road repair problems vice having those who built these defect roads held accountable and pay for these repairs
·        All of their votes and actions to date, have been in favor of the Developer and at the expense and determent to all the Residents


·        Continue to Refuse to file a law suit against the FOUR companies (3 of which are still in business) , that were responsible in the building our defective roadways


Six months after our 'leaders' mis-led the law firm hired to address the failing roadways, the CDD spent $500,000 in effort to 'repair' part of the failing roadways.  Now, less than a year since this 'repair' the very same road sections are failing once again.  The CDD had contacted several road construction companies and ALL have refused to do future repairs since, per their expert opinion, is that the roadways installed in Lake Ashton were improperly installed (roads do not have the required base) and as a result, these companies do not want to be held liable for what amounts to only a short term cosmetic 'repair'.

Benghazi ---more of the story .."What difference does it Make"?

The stunning part of this story is that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty killed 60 of the attacking force.  Once the compound was overrun, the attackers were incensed to discover that just two men had inflicted so much death and destruction.

The news has been full of the attacks on our embassies throughout the Muslim world, and in particular, the deaths of Ambassador Chris Stevens and three others in Benghazi, Libya .

However, there’s a little known story of incredible bravery, heroics, and  courage that should be the top story.
  
So what actually happened at the U.S. embassy in Libya?  We are learning more about this every day.  Ambassador Stevens and Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, along with administrative staff, were working out of temporary quarters due to the fact that in the spring of 2011 during the so-called Arab Spring, the United States cut ties with then president Moammar Gadhafi.  Our embassy was looted and ransacked, causing it to be unusable.  It is still in a state of disrepair.

Security for embassies and their personnel is to be provided by the host nation.  Since Libya has gone through a civil war of sorts in the past 18 months, the current government is very unstable, and therefore, unreliable

A well-organized attack by radical Muslims was planned specifically targeting the temporary U.S. embassy building.  The Libyan security force that was in place to protect our people  deserted their post, or joined the attacking force.  Either way, our people were in a real fix.  And it should be noted that Ambassador Stevens had mentioned on more than one occasion to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, that he was quite concerned for his personal safety and the welfare of his people.  It is thought that Ambassador Stevens was on a “hit list.”

A short distance from the American compound, two Americans were sleeping.  They were in Libya as independent contractors working an assignment totally unrelated to our embassy.  They also happened to be former Navy Seal’s.

When they heard the noise coming from the attack on our embassy, as you would expect from highly trained warriors, they ran to the fight.  Apparently, they had no weapons, but seeing the Libyan guards dropping their guns in their haste in fleeing the scene, Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty snatched up several of these discarded weapons and prepared to defend the American compound.

Not knowing exactly what was taking place,  the two Seal’s set up a defensive perimeter.  Unfortunately Ambassador Stevens was already gravely injured, and Foreign Service officer, Sean Smith, was dead.  However, due to their quick action and suppressive fire, twenty administrative personnel in the embassy were able to escape to safety.  Eventually, these two courageous men were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers brought against them, an enemy force numbering between 100 to 200 attackers which came in two waves.  But the stunning part of the story is that Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty killed 60 of the attacking force.  Once the compound was overrun, the attackers were incensed to discover that just two men had inflicted so much death and destruction.

As it became apparent to these selfless heroes, they were definitely going to lose their lives unless some reinforcements showed up in a hurry.  As we know now, that was not to be.  I’m fairly certain they knew they were going to die in this gun fight, but not before they took a whole lot of bad guys with them!

Consider these tenets of the Navy SEAL Code: 

1) Loyalty to Country, Team and Teammate, 
2) Serve with Honor and Integrity On and Off the Battlefield, 
3) Ready to Lead, Ready to Follow, Never Quit, 
4) Take responsibility for your actions and the actions of your teammates, 
5) Excel as Warriors through Discipline and Innovation, 
6) Train for War, Fight to Win, Defeat our Nation’s Enemies, and...
7) Earn your Trident every day


Thank you, Tyrone and Glen.  To the very last breath, you both lived up to the SEAL Code.  You served all of us well.  You were courageous in the face of certain death.

And Tyrone, even though you never got to hold your newborn son, he will grow up knowing the character and quality of his father, a man among men who sacrificed himself defending others.

POST OFFICE BUILDINGS FOR SALE


What a bunch of crooks we have running this country! 

The US has entered into a contract with a real estate firm to sell 56 buildings that currently house U.S. Post Offices. The government has decided it no longer needs these buildings, most of which are located on prime land in towns and cities across the country. The sale of these properties will fetch about $19 billion.

A regular real estate commission will be paid to the company that was given the exclusive listing for handling the sales. That company is CRI and it belongs to a man named Richard Blum. 

Richard Blum is the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein. (Most voters and many of the government people who approved the deal have not made the connection between the two because they have different last names).

Senator Feinstein and her husband stand to make a fortune (est at between $950 million and $1.1 billion!!) from these transactions. His company is the sole real estate on the sale. CRI will be making a minimum of 3% and as much as 6% commission on each and every sale.

All of the properties that are being sold are all fully paid for. They were purchased with U.S. taxpayers dollars. The U.S.P.S. is allowed free and clear, tax exempt use. The only cost to keep them open is the cost to actually keep the doors open and the heat and lights on. The United States Postal
Service doesn't even have to pay country property taxes on these subject properties.

Would you put your house in foreclosure just because you couldn't afford to pay the electric bill?

Well, the the folks in Washington have given the Post Office the OK to do it! Worse yet, most of the net proceeds of the sales will go back to the U.S.P.S, an organization that is so poorly managed that they have lost $117 billion dollars in the past 10 years!

No one in the mainstream media is even raising an eyebrow over the conflict of interest and on the possibility of corruption on the sale of hundreds of billions of dollar's worth of public assets.

How does a U.S. Senator from San Francisco manage to get away with organizing and lobbying such a sweet deal? Is our government become so elitist that they have no fear of oversight?

And it's no mere coincidence that these two public service crooks have different last names; a feeble attempt at avoiding transparency in these type of transactions.

Pass this info on before it's pulled from the internet.
