Editorial
As I sat
in the
audience
Saturday
afternoon
at the
3rd
Annual
HLR B
Board
Candidate
Forum, I
was
shocked
by what
I was
hearing
from my
friend
Bill
Beggs.
I had
no idea
Bill
felt the
way he
did
about
the $20
assessment
question.
Bill is
a good
man and
when he
was
asked,
point
blank,
how he
had
voted,
he
answered
the
question
honestly.
In
hindsight,
I
respect
that
honesty
and the
words I
used
when I
reached
the
microphone,
should
have
been
softer.
Bill has
assured
me that
he will
support
the
peoples
wishes
and will
implement
whatever
they
choose
to do in
this
matter.
By the
time you
read
this,
the food
vote
will be
counted.
On the
matter
of the
election
of 2
“B”
Board
Members
that is
still
ongoing,
I
wholeheartedly
support
John
Sparks
in his
bid to
be
reelected
and Kay
Sloan,
who will
support
the $20
/ $12
assessment,
which is
the only
way to
save
food
being
served
on
property.
Kay
Sloan
has
worked
hard
(summer
pool
duty)
for the
Ranch
and is a
strong
supporter
of the
restaurant.
She
would
bring
some
fresh
ideas to
the
Board.
I think
everyone
remembers
that
the By
Laws say
that the
winners
of the 2
seats
take
over as
soon as
the
votes
are
tabulated,
and not
in
January
of next
year.
