The parking has been shelved until a later date, lets see if anything happens to that without further consultation.
All polls should have visual metrics allowing owner awareness so the VO community knows that our board is supporting majority interests as stated in the VO mission statement.
Voter polling will help our board In making the right decisions.
I really do believe they want to be more transparent, but, the fear of contentious issues is blocking their transparency. They need to face contentious issues head on.
