Honestly, I got a real
good laugh when reading various editorial articles about the Condo Reform Bill.
It seems attorneys don't like their "clients" -- the board members --
being criminally prosecuted. I think it's long overdue.
I have personally heard
board president stating at public board meetings that they plainly don't care
what the statutes say -- they do what they want! That has to stop!!!
Remember:
Hiding public documents from the view of owners is very often the sign of
financial wrong-doing -- and so far the laws allowed the bad guys to hide
financial records for three and four years, giving them even more time to
embezzle and/or misuse association funds.
And the attorneys, like Donna Berger
from -- now again -- Becker & Poliakoff -- making lots of money helping to
cover up for the board members who refuse to hand over requested records as
required by law.
Let's see what Senator Greg Steube, a B&P attorney, has to
say about this bill when it's being heard in front of the Senate Judiciary
Committee he chairs.
How much more Conflict of Interest can there be? And when
discussing the bill: Never forget that it was written according to the requests
of condo owners who suffered through the abuse of attorneys, management and
board members. I sure can understand why these folks don't like the bill.
Admittedly, the wording of the bill needs quite some changing, but the sponsors
of the bill had in my opinion their hearts in the right place.
