Think of the Condo Docs like the Constitution. Half the people want one thing, and half the people want another thing. Most Condo Docs are pretty much boiler plate to start with, and they tweak it here and there. A congressman wants to make a name for himself, so when his constituents come to him with something they think would be better in or out of the Docs, he has nothing to lose by submitting it. Also, just because an amendment has passed, does not mean that everyone has to adhere to it. Many things are so-called grandfathered in, so even if it is a good bill, you might never experience the effect of it. For instance: remember when the law stated that every condo owner had to own their own HO6 Policy, and submit a copy of it to the board. That actually was a good piece of legislation, but it didn't last a full year. There are some things you just can't force people to do, even if it is for the good of the majority.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600392339864651192.post-66162274626274060802017-03-07T11:57:09.310-05:002017-03-07T11:57:09.310-05:00It's usually the process that kills it, not th...It's usually the process that kills it, not the content. When you have a state legislature that meets for 60 days to consider bills that have to first pass through committees, it's a wonder they can pass any legislation.Lynn Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242292715399705224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600392339864651192.post-79887293696527890772017-03-07T11:38:18.229-05:002017-03-07T11:38:18.229-05:00As I said before, most of these bills don't ma...As I said before, most of these bills don't make it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600392339864651192.post-91779952957626192172017-03-07T10:28:36.164-05:002017-03-07T10:28:36.164-05:00"Most of these bills don't make it"...."Most of these bills don't make it".<br /> WRONG.

They do crap here they would NEVER do in their "real" homes and neighborhoods up north.Some board members use their positions to promote personal vendettas against condo owners they don't like.

They get away with murder and those who live in their communities put up with a lot of incompetence. Unless you have a lot of money, you can't sue. Glad to see the law catching up with them.Judy Gnoreply@blogger.com
