“HEARSAY TAKEN AS TRUTH”?

.

HOA/LGOP-“STIRRING THE POT”?

.

At last Monday’s (3/20/23), Regular Board Meeting, Ranch resident Carol Orr was allowed to ask the Board of Directors about their 2/20/23, Minutes.

 

She read aloud the following:

 

“Director Jones made a motion that any discussions regarding Carol Orr with Ms. Orr or any other individual be considered a legal matter and referred to the HOA attorney through Ms. Orr’s or the other other party’s attorney. The motion was seconded by Director Dries and approved unanimously.”

.

After reading the above statement from the 2/20 Minutes,

.

Ms. Orr asked Director Jones: “Where did you come up with that information?”

Director Jones mumbled something, but clearly told Orr she was “…BARRED FOR DOING THIS.”

 

Ms. Orr: “Excuse me, could you speak so it could go on the record?” “Thank you.”

Jones: “WOULD YOU SIT DOWN PLEASE.”

 

Orr: “And, your reason why?” Jones didn’t respond.

 

Ms. Orr continued: “Can I make an announcement? Many people have been coming up to me because Ms. Jones made this-I don’t know if she’s a lawyer or what, but she made this announcement that I have a lawyer.”

 

Orr: “Do you think I have a lawyer?”

Jones: “I WILL REPEAT WHAT I JUST SAID, WILL YOU PLEASE SIT DOWN.”

 

Ms. Orr asked all of the Directors: “Do any of you-where did you come up with, where I have a lawyer?”

 

 

President Kari Vickery interjected:

 

 

“I UNDERSTAND THAT MS. ORR, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, PEOPLE TALK, PUBLIC COMMUNICATES AND EVERYTHING THAT IS PRETTY MUCH COMMUNICATED IS HEARSAY, BUT WE HAVE TO TAKE IT AS TRUTH.”

.

HEARSAY TAKEN AS TRUTH?

.

Ms. Orr: “Why wouldn’t you ask me-the person the hearsay is about, do you have a lawyer?”

.

Vickery: “BECAUSE, WE MADE THE DECISION IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.”

.

Ms. Orr: “Next time you make a decision and the whole community thinks I have the money to have a lawyer, please ask the person that you’re accusing of or this.”

.

Vickery: “WE DIDN’T ACCUSE YOU.”

.

Orr: “Yes, you’re saying I have a lawyer and this is also like I have a Gag Order…”

.

“It says, Ms. Orr or the other party’s attorney-how would you interpret that if that was personally written to you and sent out to every individual on an email?”

.

Vickery: “I’M SORRY IT WAS MISINTERPRETED.”

 

.

Orr responded: “Can you correct it-in your next minutes?”

.

Vickery: “I CAN DISCUSS THAT WITH THE BOARD-YES.”

.

Vickery added: “HERE’S THE THING, I’M NOT GOING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT COME TO ME, ABOUT YOU FROM SOMEONE ELSE, PERIOD.”

.

RM asked Vickery what triggered the Board’s need to respond the way they did-Did somebody approach the Board about all of this?

.

Vickery: “I’M NOT GOING TO ANSWER THAT AT THIS TIME…”

.

Who has President Vickery talked to?

.

Maybe, CRR/LGOP-Little Group of Patriots, “Area Coordinator”, Jennie Anderson. Is Jennie Anderson “stirring the pot”?

.

In our story, “JENNIE’S OUT OF THE BOTTLE”, we reported that RM obtained a three page investigative report, authored by Ms. Anderson.

 

Her investigative report confirms that certain Ranch Officials have shared and/or provided targeted homeowners personal information.

 

On page three of Jennie Anderson’s report, she states in part:

“After speaking with several different Ranch Administrative staff and committee volunteers, including Kari Vickery the current Board President,

I feel this is the only possible path to meaningful change given the currently climate and the huge disrespect, including threats of physical and professional harm, they have received from this group of residents.”

.

Anderson added: “During my visit to the admin building to request DOCUMENTS since the website is down, I asked the ladies (staff) if the plexiglass partition put up during the C19 Scamdemic would be removed any time soon, to which I received a resounding ‘No!’

They explained this is not because they are in fear of any virus, but rather certain Ranch residents…”

.

HOW MUCH TOXIC HEARSAY IS TAKEN AS TRUTH?

.

Stay Tuned-MUCH MORE TO COME!
