Special HOA Constitutions replace US Constitution

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TAPES ARE ON THE UP AND UP


If a common interest development were a governmental entity there would be no problem with what can and cannot be done in a public meeting.

What's wrong with the one that's been around for over 200 years? The US Constitution. Why must there be special constitutions for these de facto private governments? Just because these CID governments are not recognized doesn't mean that they do not operate daily as the de facto governments over these territorial communities.

CIDs must be brought under the laws of the land that regulate governments and protect the rights of all citizens.
