COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION LIVING STUDY COUNCIL

An Opinion By Jan Bergemann

Exactly 39 days before the COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION LIVING STUDY COUNCIL ceases to exist (according to FS 718.50151) the Council has today its first meeting -- via teleconference. And the AGENDA shows that nothing will be accomplished, besides some organizational issues. It's exactly as the DBPR and the Division of Florida Condominiums, Timeshares and Mobile Homes intended. They knew exactly what to expect from a bipartisan Council that would take its task seriously. Everybody knows that the DBPR is to blame for most of the problems in condos -- and that at a time when homeowners' associations desperately need regulation and strong enforcement. Secretary Chuck Drago rather insults Florida's taxpaying citizens who pay his and his employees salaries by making quotes like: ".... they had great things to say about the people who work here. I know that we will continue to improve the way we serve our licensees and the people of Florida . It takes great people to affect change, and we’re fortunate to have a wonderful team." Don't forget, Drago made this statement after meeting with his "customers" all over Florida, who had very little good to say about his staff!

It is a shame that these people are allowed to draw pay, paid for by Florida's citizens.
