Lake Ashton got sold out! This is a bomb shell

On June 12th while some of you were away or sleeping, the residents of Lake Ashton were sold out to the tune of a quarter of a million dollars.
It seems that one of our residents owns property in another development here in Poke County. Last March, the Manager of that development told the Lake Ashton resident that he would be interested in bidding on all three current contracts here in Lake Ashton.
The resident told him that there was an open bidding process that required him to prepare and submit bids for the management, landscape maintenance and gate attendant contacts.
Requests for Proposal would be issued by the Lake Ashton CDD sometime in August. The prospective bidder did just that. He obtained copies of all three contracts, as well as last year's RFP's (request for Proposal), showing the scope of work and also visited Lake Ashton on many occasions to see what exactly was involved.
He prepared drafts of his bids and waited for announcement of the RFP's in the newspaper. The aggregate total of his bids was a quarter of a million dollars less than the current contracts now in effect and also provided an elevated level of quality and service.
The announcement never came. This action which can only be describe as fiscally irresponsible, Margot Stevens, Jake Eaton and Scott Owens quickly voted not to issue RFP's to the new contractor and extend all three contracts for another year.
Scott Ownes action was expected. He was appointed by the current contractor and serves as an officer in the Developer's corporation. Why then would your fellow residents Margot and Jake vote to obligate you to an additional $250,000/year in operation and maintenance cost? Margot voting record over the past year reveals thae she has steadfastly voted in support of the current contractor on every single issue. Her husband is employed by the developer and is listed in every single issue of the LA Times.
Jake Eaton along with her husband are heavily invested in the developer's real estate ventures.
They inadvertently fail to disclosed this fact on their financial disclosure statements prior to their election in direct violation of state laws.
