VOTE FOR THE RIGHT TEAM

BY: BOB MARSHALL AND ED BLACK.

FOLLOWING IS A DIRECT REBUTTAL OF INACCURATE POLITICAL SCREED BEING DISTRIBUTED BY LOEWENSTEIN & CO.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DON’T VOTE FOR THE BAD GUYS

What have they done to
Century Village when in office

Negative-Negative-Negative

BOB MARSHALL
After every meeting you attend, since we are in arbitration, you send e-mails to Mark Levy with the details.

Bob Marshall responds: Actually, this is a false statement; but let’s examine the concept of person to person communication; if Loewenstein& co. had talked to WPRF/Mark Levy from the beginning, instead of calling him a thief and a liar in public forum; we might have avoided a Legal fiasco, which threatens to cost us huge sums, with little likelihood of recovery
--------------------------------------------

ED BLACK
As VP of UCO you intimidated, embarrassed, and threatened Many Residents in the Village.

Ed Black responds: This is a ludicrous statement from Loewenstein & Co. who threw an 87 year old Unit Owner from the bus; because she forgot her ID, rather than simply check the facts from readily available records!
-------------------------------------

BOB MARSHALL

You allowed workers for Precision Roofing Co, to rent Office space in a unit you own against the By-laws of CV.

Bob Marshall responds: Exactly what By-laws are you talking about? Are you forgetting how many roofs were in need of repair or replacement in our Village? The Marshall Team reached out and obtained the services of a licensed roofer who was certified by the Insurance Company; The Marshall Team took action under critical conditions to solve a very difficult problem. We were in an emergency situation; the actions were thus legal and fully justified.
-----------------------------------


ED BLACK

You are threatening to sue UCO.

Ed Black responds: This is ridiculous; I requested certain records from UCO; records which I had every legal right to see; when UCO refused to respond in a timely manner, I pointed out that the Law provided recourse if they refused access. There was NO Law Suit ever filed., unlike the premature Law Suit filed by VP Myron Solomon and vigorously supported by Loewenstein & Co; in direct contravention of the Millennium Agreement, a reckless adventure in expensive futility!
--------------------------------------

BOB MARSHALL

You approved payments of $5,000,000.00 without back-up Bills to prove the amounts charged were correct for the Restoration of the clubhouse.

Bob Marshall responds: First of all; all such approvals were done by the Operations Committee; of which George Loewenstein was a member, and the Treasurer. All invoices were and still are the property of WPRF, not my personal property to take home! Therefore, they should be in WPRF custody at this very moment; of course, Loewenstein, Richland and Bummolo were all part of this team
-----------------------------------------


ED BLACK

You forced building Presidents to co-sign checks made out
Jointly to Condo Associations and Precision Roofing….
Under threat of putting liens on their condos if they refused.

Ed Black responds: It is not unusual for an Insurance Company to make out a check in dual names of the Insured and the principal contractor. Pointing out the consequences of failure to endorse over the funds in a timely manner is hardly forcing anyone to do anything; it is surely common sense to avoid a costly Mechanics Lien.
------------------------------------

BOB MARSHALL & ED BLACK

You both recommended the sale of the adjoining Golf Course to a Condo Developer against the Residents wishes.

Bob & Ed respond: This is yet another blatant falsity; we recommended that the entire offer be made clear to all Unit Owners, so that they could decide; we call that Democracy, something that Loewenstein & Co. has stolen from us all.
-----------------------------------------


BOB MARSHALL & ED BLACK

Had little regard for the special needs of the many Handicapped Residents when they redesigned the Clubhouse which creates Current problems.

Bob & Ed. Respond: The design of the restored Clubhouse has many fingerprints on it; including such persons as George Loewenstein, Phyllis Richland, Jean Dowling, Sal Bummalo and, of Course Architects and engineers, (experts), and WPRF. It is possible to make mistakes, and the issue of Handicapped access has been well understood for some time; what has Loewenstein & Co. done about it? Absolutely nothing!
---------------------------------------


BOB MARSHALL & ED BLACK

THEY NEVER SPOKE THE TRUTH about THE COMPLETION OF THE CLUBHOUSE.


THEY NEVER SPOKE THE TRUTH,
THEY DON’T SPEAK THE TRUTH
AND YOU CAN’T BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY SAY OR PRINT!!!!!!
DON’T LET THESE PEOPLE HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THE MONEY AND DECISIONS FOR THE RESIDENTS of
CENTURY VILLAGE

Bob & Ed Respond: Now we come to the most egregious of misstatements! During the Marshall Administration a key highlight of virtually every Delegate Assembly meeting was a comprehensive report led by Jean Dowling on the progress of the Clubhouse Restoration. She brought pictures, slides, samples to view and in short kept the Delegates and the Unit Owners fully informed.
Usually to thunderous applause and approval!
If you are looking for lies and deception you need look no further than the antics of Loewenstein & Co. as regards the Law Suit against WPRF filed by Myron Solomon, a sitting VP of UCO; do you remember such statements at Delegate Assembly meetings and Town Hall events such as:
“The Judge says that everyone should send their money to the Court Registry”!!!This was a patent deception which led to the dragging of thousands of Unit Owners through a living nightmare;
There was no Court order in 15th. Judicial Circuit enabling the Clerk to receive our payments!
There was no certified Class Action to enable the suit. Loewenstein & Co. were ultimately shown the error of their ways by a sitting Federal Court Judge, who reversed their reckless adventure and sent it back for Arbitration,. This adventure, in aggregate, has created costs approaching $300,000.00 which are steadily rising! Where will it end?

So, who are the real Bad Guys?

SHOULD LOEWENSTEIN & CO. BE RE-ELECTED?
WE THINK NOT!

Bob Marshall & Ed Black

I'm trying to figure out why either of you would be recommending unit owners read anything about the sale of the golf course other than to say no to the whole thing. The sale was not in the best interest of CV. Just curious about that. Mike

Mike said...

Look GuyS , I'm no lover of Geo. L because of his fascist forum but as I asked before , If not Arbitration What? Are we to rely on the benevolence of Levy(WPRF) to return the money owed to the CV unit owners or are you saying the unit owners have no money due them. Thanks, Mike

I have just printed this and will post it on my building’s bulletin board.

Hi Mike

The sale of the golf course was an issue we, as officers of UCO had a responsibility to present to the OWNERS. We did not encourage anything but to L I S T E N to the Builders proposal, and THEN decide. Certain residents , among those vehemently opposed, tried to paint us a “encouraging” to increase the EMOTIONS of the CROWD. Just like the Arbitration now.
The problem with attempting to FORCE any failing Company to REMAIN open is that they will eventually find a way to close and SELL!
What remains is the recourse that, we had a motivated Builder, and when it sells the next time, and there will probably be a next time, the Builder will pay less and spend more trying to obtain the requisite approval from the County directly. THEY may offer nothing to the Village!

That is not my vote, just the other side of the story. We will work for the majority because, this golf course does not border our unit, but for those where is does, we would unquestionably support them, and D I D!

Hi Ed , Thanks for the info.There may be another attempt to build out the property with maximum density but CV has a lot of votes which is the only thing a politician cares about . We can fight any attempt that is not in the best interest of CV. Granted , in the future something will happen to the property but Cv votes can make dam sure it is something not objectionable to the village. MIKE

I am VERY HAPPY to stay right here with Dave but would like to know, what you guys are going to do with the CV website, especially the Forum (have to be APPROVED to post - and it is offensive to call them nazi's - give me a break !!!). And, since we are on the subject, what about the CV (KEY PHRASE: *CV*) computer club - in which, CV residents are forbidden to utilize; classroom, equipment, classes/lecturers, etc - unless we BOW-DOWN to her highness(es) and spend OUR money. The "BOSSES" though do anything they want; use anything they want, restrict anything they want and even tell the CV residents, the will NOT follow their own charter!

Hi Capt John

I agree, we pay WPRF to provide the SPACE, and EQUIPMENT, why then should we be forced to pay to be members. You don't at the woodworking Shop, Poolroom club. It is time for the equipment to:
1. Be purchased by club members, so they may limit who may use it, OR
2. WPRF must insist the clubroom remain open with limited access to anything but internet..

While working at Seniors Versus Crime, in the sheriff’s substation, we have very restricted use of computers for our purposes, limiting what may be added or deleted. This safety measure could be in place for those Computer Club computers that WE PAID FOR, as well.
