Our Million Dollar Campaign
by Jim Ross I’d like to respond to a note by an ally of our opposition on a Quadomain Facebook site. The note states, My Response: What you call “distorting the truth” we call stating facts that you don’t want to hear or believe. Please allow me to answer your questions on behalf of QuadProTeam… Read more

“Lies of Desperation (Indeed)
There they go again. Marlem and her crew’s response to getting caught spewing smears, lies, and misrepresentations in their previous “Choices We Make” email blast is to conjure up a whole new set of them in their newly-fabricated “Lies of Desperation” email blast of Feb.16, 2024 (which was sent as a draft?

“Choices We Make” – Truth-o-Meter Results
Marlem and her team have conjured up another set of attacks, lies, and misrepresentations in their “Choices We Make” email blast of Feb. 12,2024.

Alan’s Response to Marlem’s Introductory Remarks
I want to comment on Marlem Quintero’s statements at last week’s Meet the Candidates Zoom meeting: Marlem took credit for the Catania settlement, with no credit to the Board!

The Wreck of a Rec Board Meeting
To those who thought last night’s Rec board meeting was a wreck: we couldn’t agree more. Marlem and her Rec board continue to shoot from the hip and chase every squirrel that happens to skitter by. There is no long-term spending plan for common area amenities, so the decision to to spend $25 – $30K… Read more

Elevators – What’s happening?
We are sure most of you are frustrated by the lack of a full complement of elevators for Valencia and Grenoble. The time wasted waiting for elevators has been and continues to be unacceptable.
