Leave Full Names Out of the Board Minutes
Sally Muto, the Erma Bombeck of Glastonbury, recently submitted an open letter to the GLA Board. It responds to a May 26th, 2016 demand from the GLA Board that the Forum remove all Board minutes from their website. Sally Muto, with her artful use of humor, enlightens readers on the issues of landowner privacy and the posting of official GLA Board Minutes on the Forum, with her below letter.
Her letter follows:
Her letter follows:
GLA Board,
I see by the minutes sent out you are still putting people's full names in the documents! If you would use first names with last name initials that would solve your problem of privacy!! So, why don't you do that? You would then solve the problem you are so concerned about, them being posted.
Simple concept, then they could be posted on the GLA website and the Forum for information. Then landowners wouldn't have to go to the trouble of requesting them.
If the GLA is willing to show the world all the lawsuits, there is no reason at all not to show the business of the Association. Like I said before, there is nothing SO secret in those minutes that can't be shown to the people who are invested here or the people thinking of buying in Glastonbury. You don't seem to mind the lady with the crazy hair (don't know her name) attending the meetings.
The lawsuit listing on the website is much more damning to this community.
Why else make it complicated? Power play maybe? Control issues? Maybe you'll even confer with the 13th un-elected board member your attorney. You can't seem to operate business as a board without constantly asking the attorney. You seem to create more problems than you solve.
You really have it in you to run this association like it should, rather than running to the attorney, if you'd just stop thinking "them verses us.".
So please leave the Forum alone it's a great source of information on many different levels. To bad GLA never thought of being so transparent!
The grumpy old lady on the hill,
Sally M
