On one hand you say Ocean Pines is "in excellent financial condition" and then in the next breath you cry and cry about the -$417,944.00 loss generate by the big three amenities, pools, Yacht Club and golf.

Oh, ok. Let me see if I understand you correctly. You are saying that if some corporation is in overall good financial condition it should not worry about departments that lose $400,000? Tell me that is not what you mean. Please.

Even a financially strong HOA should worry a great deal about any business operations that cost association members $400,000 when the potential for profit exists. I realize this is a difficult concept for folks like Ray Unger who believes amenities are supposed to lose money, but I have a feeling you agree with my view.

The reason I did not support the budget was because I thought, and still do, that it was falsely inflated by phantom projects in order to continue to build reserves for some yet un named and probably un necessary future expansion.

Who is involved in this conspiracy?
