“IT’S NOT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE THAT COUNT, IT’S THE PEOPLE WHO COUNT THE VOTES.”

“IT’S NOT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE THAT COUNT, IT’S THE PEOPLE WHO COUNT THE VOTES.”

Our Ranch BOD made the decision, DENYING the Association Members-YOU, the right to vote on the EMERGENCY EXIT PROJECT.

However, WOULD IT HAVE MATTERED? Ballot Measure 2 supposedly passed in 2016-but did it really?

Ranch Director/Secretary Paula Bartolomei stated in the July 2016 Telegraph in part: “....1,324 votes in favor-in order to change anything...”. The key word “FAVOR.”

Interestingly, Director/Secretary Paula Bartolomei and President David Palmer, submitted to the Jefferson County Clerk’s Office, an “ AMENDMENT TO BY-LAWS” confirming the 2016 Ranch Election Results reflecting 1003 voted in favor of Ballot Measure 2 and 316 votes against Ballot Measure 2.

“1,324 votes in Favor to change anything...” ??

See the July 2016 Telegraph and “AMENDMENT TO BY-LAWS document posted below.
