I have to wonder how much has to be done as far as book keeping, for less than five hundred a month? Then how long is the term? The young lady graduates in what less than two years…then what? Does she intend on staying in NH?

The liability, condo liability got recent review with legislation, based on liability for the resources or capital the management controls. A board that does not keep up with or understand what keeping up with means, the costs in realty and then management that may not as well, the funds to do what needs to be done and what goes where and for what. The law now requires a condo and it agents in management take full responsibility and liability, they have to hire a third party and pay them to conduct an assessment of the environment. Do you have the money to do what needs to be done and with respects to that money do you retain and have access to enough. Are you managing well or not, nothing grassroots about that…it’s now a legislated obligation. Fail and you neighbor can file a lawsuit on you.

This young lady will she have liability? Will she be responsible with the money? Who knows? A county treasurer can be held accountable for the money, they can be charged with mismanagement of public funds…I would even say that some times they have been set up to take falls.

I guess it does not matter, she can use that position in the future and leverage it into a another political position? Maybe? It’s definitely controversial using a large student body to win a position. More about rattling the status quo than a sincere interest in the local government.

A large university could take control of local government in this manor, not such a bad thing if they are sincere and diligent about the responsibilities those position entail.

If the county residents takes issue with that, then they will have to register and vote, the majority rules and nothing can restrict votes, can it, can they require or restrict voting? I do not think so…

If that county and it’s administration is GOP and she walks in good luck, she will have set her self into a hornets nest…they may be calling her on the nights of her exams with all kinds of contrived issues. Then holding her responsible to address them.

Do you know what?? You are reminding me that in my own town, we’ve been using email to great success with a much older demographic but still with success in communicating and organizing in a way that this much more slow to change community never has before. And the old guard is completely flummoxed by it – the mayor even sent out a letter maligning this very blog in a phrase that said disparagingly, “while some bloggers say…” something along those lines. I wrote him and said, you know – just use my blog’s name if you mean me! lol oy

Anyway – as I wrote earlier, I was interviewed for an article related to some of these things we’re recognizing – it is a new age – it really is and we’re talking to each other and learning and improving that which we think needs to be improved.

That’s totally democratic! I love it.

Thanks again.

Even though this is a town it reminds me of my condo board (i.e. Ms. Elliott would not tell him how much money was in a county account linked to his office). Just this week there were emails going around my condo community about grassroots change.
