Where to start. The golf course is an asset. It is worth money, it is real estate and it is open space and beautiful. If selling it was worth consideration, go ahead and consider the idea but selling now is poor timing. Two points – the course is beautifully maintained. If its sold there are no guarantees. Second- the value on the real estate isn’t going away. There isnt any strong reason besides trying to balance the ledger, to have a fire sale that is not retractable. The only solution in going forward that I can sense would be in purging all present and in power. Fix the leaky door on the submarine and hire and vote in a new crew. This means public involvement. Our involvement has been historically poor and we must take that responsibility to heart.

Th e Villager looks like a newspaper but but it is not. It follows a format of head in the sand non reporting that makes the 1950’s look like a time of journalistic exposes. Just had to say!

IMO, see if there might not be prosecutorial remedies and we need a new board, and new management. A sale in the future would in any case take time, lots of it to see through. We need to have smart conservative leadership now.

Ms RT, appreciate the clarification and reading your comments in different light you might be right about legal review. Hate to go down that road tho …

To all that responded to my last comments; I am not saying that this forum isn’t a great place to air our concerns, as a matter of fact, I love the site and view it every day, several times a day. My thoughts are that now that we VOCA residents are aware of this problem THE NEXT STEP IS LAW ENFORCEMENT.

Wow, Mrs. Thomas. Agreeing that you are correct in your suggestion to pursue legal action if warranted, without “this forum” the public possibly wouldn’t be aware that a questionable situation exists. How many other media sources are locally available which willingly and in an unbiased manner make this and similar community concerns available for public scrutiny? Please do not judge the messenger.

All of this banter is very counter-productive, if someone has proof that a crime has taken place, this isn’t the forum to make the claim. “Those in the know” should put their concerns in writing and contact the police.

If it’s a good investment isn’t that all that counts? Time will tell. People have to eat.

Let us hear from the VOCA Board– preferably with input from its treasurer and auditor. Please!
