Well – the election for SCA Board of Directors is finally over, and the results were as expected.

There is in this community one BLOG owner who (despite his character flaws) continues to exert his enormous influence in every election that we have undergone ever since the governance of Sun City Anthem was turned over to the residents from the developer.

It’s often said “You get what you pay for”, and in Sun City Anthem it’s obvious that we did not pay enough attention to the details, and instead we paid too much attention to the current “Unity” board members and their self appointed “PR man”. It has not gone unnoticed that almost every elected candidate still choose only one BLOG site to “thank the voters”.

Almost every one of the elected candidates have uttered words to the effect;

“I am confident you will find a more open, more resident friendly, and more participatory Board.”

Only time will tell if they really mean it.  I sincerely hope so.

I think Ron Johnson said it best on April 5, 2011.  Here is part of what he said then:

“We are in need of a change in direction, more—not less transparency, greater honesty and integrity, demonstrated community support, independence and proven leadership qualities. What we do not need are candidates who cloak themselves with endorsements from those who have disappointed us in the past as such candidates are more likely than not to adopt similar past practices.”

And here is a copy of Ron’s full editorial:  [1] RJ Election Recommendations
