I want to thank the Chaska Herald for taking the time to keep the residents of the Jonathan Association informed about the 2008 Board of Directors election. I appreciate their willingness to give candidates another forum to explain their views on the problems facing the Jonathan Association.

Last week the residents of the Jonathan Association learned of another unfortunate act of mismanagement by the leadership of the Board of Directors. According to the Star-Tribune, an Association employee is accused of misappropriation of Association funds. One may wonder, "Where was the Association Executive Director?" Oh, that's right. The majority of the Board of Directors didn't feel it was necessary to have an Executive Director. Where was the Association Manager?

Gotta love TiVo.

So, I am sitting here watching the replay of the February 20, 2007 Jonathan Annual Meeting, and I have to say I am nothing short of appalled.

Does anyone know if the Jonathan Association extended the deadline to file for the 3 Board positions??
