I do take exception to a few comments directed at members stating that there is a cabal of self interested golfers and mid-level government bureaucrats whose only concern is preserving the golf facility and nothing else. Moreover, there are a number of former board members who had their opportunity to come up with a sensible plan but now want to delay or incrementally implement a perceived better plan. Where was their proposal to fix these neglected buildings when they led the board? They recently published a flier “A Better Plan…” that was refuted at the town hall. Let’s leave Lake Monticello a better place than we found it not only for ourselves, our kids, our neighbors, but also for our friends and visitors for years to come. When is the last time we saw a 7 to 0 consensus on any initiative at Lake Monticello? The board did their part, and now we the residents need to do our part. I encourage you to vote yes.
