IT is very sad that people are not willing to work together and are so easy and fast to critisize. I as well do not want to spend 250 dollars a month for roads. As was said in the meting the CDA must be figured on the 3.4 million from VDOT because we do not have a cheaper estimate. I am trying to get that but cannot without engineering work etc. All the profesionals agree that it will be at least 1-1.5 million LESS than the 3.4 million. That would make the payments a lot less and more affordable. We should as a community go to the Board of Supervisors/ State officals and plead for money, we deserve it. To answer one of the statements in the letter that was sent out to everyone but me, we have spent over 1/2 million dollars in 17 years on road repairs, upkeep, insurance, snow removal etc. That figure comes directly from the GWCC checkbook. SO that cannot and could not be done for 700 dollars assessment and 225 dues. Impossible. 70% or more of dues goes to road repiars and maintence and they are still in very bad condition. I am open to conversation and phone calls if people would call or come by. We as a board need help input and people willing to work for the ROADS. BE a part of the solution not the PROBLEM.
