There is a great deal of misinformation with regard to the Lake Monticello Owners’ Association Renovations and Replacements project. The letter “Golfers Should Pay” in a recent issue of the Fluvanna Review is illustrative. It speaks of a golf...
Back in 2003, my wife and I moved to Lake Monticello from Northern Virginia. We were looking for a place to live that had a sense of community. We were tired of being around people who were not interested in doing things together, but happy that they had gotten theirs and the rest of you can go take a hike. Lake Monticello was one of...
A letter from the April 16 Fluvanna Review notes that the upcoming vote on Lake Monticello improvements is important… but it is important to all of the residents, not just the “1 percent.” The proposal is the “Lake Monticello Renovation and Replacement Project,” not the “Lake Monticello Golf Building Replacement and...

The Lake Monticello Owners’ Association needs to be transparent to the full membership about the...
I wanted to second Mark St. John’s letter to the editor. I’ve lived at the Lake since 2002 and not once has the golf course turned a profit. And so every year our dues go to support an amenity 99 percent of us don’t use.Someone on the Board needs to have the courage to at least mention the possibility of turning the golf course...
I would like to commend Christina Dimeo Guseman on her article on taxes. It was a very clear explanation of tax rates from a perspective that is not normally considered.
