Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue till they have resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they suppress. (Frederick Douglas)
Its only a matter of time before the MDGAssociation dictatorship reaches its “past expiry date”

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a Trackbackthis association wants to enjoy the powers of both an hoa and a ratepayers association and everything inbetween and beyond. without so much as a clear majority mandate. to secure their status in this suburb they persist in disseminating what can only be described as grossly distorted facts. it clearly hasn’t occurred to the association’s office bearers that collecting monies under false pretences and causing residents unnecessary cost due to building delays etc could not only result in charges of negligence against the association but also CRIMINAL charges against them the office bearers personally…
I can deffinately feel the winds of change blowing. One only has to look at the “pink” house to see exactly how much power the association really has to see that the chains that bound us is breaking. Pretty soon the winds will reach hurricane strength and the association will be blown to hell and gone. Good riddance!
I really like the new MDGA website and think it will do wonders to inform especially non-resident members and prospective home buyers - when the pertinent information about the association is posted for all to see that is. By pertinent I mean of course its December 2007 constitution, rules and regulations legally enacted together with an abridged cv of sorts for each of its office bearers. Seeing as the association’s office bearers are for the most part co-opted or in by default (as opposed to being voted in) it’s no wonder members are less than enchanted. We don’t know much about these individuals who want to tell us how to live our lives, take our money and claim to know what we think when making representations on behalf of the SUBURB known as Marina da Gama…
What scares me is what we actually do know about these individuals - they are prepared to lie, distort facts and are not above offering the odd bribe. How are we supposed to trust them?
