Example Exposing Fake Article

This is the perfect example of an individual attempting to publish a fabricated article and how easily people like this are exposed. http://www.thecumberlander.ca/show2041a45s/Why_Is_Alan_de_Jersey_Embarrassed
How can he believe no one noticed he proved my point?
Information IS power.

The videos posted at Union Bay Improvement News http://www.youtube.com/user/UnionBayImprovement/videos are to provide information to the public regarding the process and decisions being made on your behalf by those who promised to represent YOUR interests.

I previously provided your government with copies of the videos, but in keeping with their policies - information is not shared.
It is impossible for people to attend all the meetings, and the miniscule information provided in the minutes and the Landowners Update are inadequate.

In keeping with my beliefs - I want all of us to know what's going on. Only videos regarding The Union Bay Improvement District will be posted. More videos will be added to keep information current.

YOU GET THE GOVERNMENT YOU DESERVE

Misappropriation

In
law, misappropriation is the intentional, illegal use of the property or funds of another person for one's own use or other unauthorized purpose, particularly by a public official, a trustee of a trust, an executor or administrator of a dead person's estate or by any person with a responsibility to care for and protect another's assets (a fiduciary duty). It is a felony, a crime punishable by a prison sentence.

From 2007 Mail Outs Titled "Fairness In Our Community", and posted on old blog. Still believe it to be true.
Again, if anyone thinks I’ve got my facts wrong. maryreynoldsis@hotmail.com more at http://allthingsunionbay.blogspot.com/ By the way, I’m not auditioning to become a friend etc., so I’m not interested in comments regarding my presentation, style, bluntness, politeness blah blah - get it? This is not personal – it is business – I don’t care if one of your relatives or friends or neighbors is an elected official. They are accountable – like it or not. It doesn’t matter what level of government – they are elected.

The Never Ending List of Problems at Union Bay Improvement District


As if the community can afford any more financial problems, we have been advised we don't actually own the school property we purchased years ago!

Was anyone paying attention to what was going on regarding financial and legal matters?

The mortgage is up for renewal next year and we don't really own it.  The title still has a clause in favor of the School District.  We can't sell it - do anything with it until the clause is removed.

Who was involved in the purchase of this property and what advice did they seek prior to the purchase?  Was there expertise provided by anyone?  Were the individuals who made the decision capable and did they have all the information required to make a decision on behalf of the community?

Was the property purchased knowing the clause existed?  So telling when you look back at what we were told before the school purchase and the facts now that we almost own it.  Note the red in the answer below.  I think this property might have been purchased knowing it couldn't be sold because those who were gung ho to buy it planned on building a Taj Mafirehall complete with fire training centre.  No shortage of empire builders here in Union Bay.

This was a red flag. 
Plus the building has historic value that many landowners wish to preserve.
Doesn't make sense since the 2 Million dollar fire hall plans adding onto the building was preserving what?

Note the last question.  Is the $20,000. referred to, the money we were told was income but was actually just a transfer?  Is the rental shortfall an error or creative bookkeeping so the community wouldn't be upset about the 'money pit' which we almost own? 

Excerpts From 2009 Landowners Update Re:  School Property Purchase

Q. What is the cost of the old school and how will it be paid for?
A. Cost $700,000 through a five year mortgage at 5% per annum.

Q. How much is paid on the principal and how much on the interest? (for school property)
A. Approximately $10,000 per year on the principal and $25,000 in interest at 5% per annum

Q. Why does the UBID need a building that large to operate out of?
A. We do not need a building that large. The building was purchased for future fire hall requirements as well as an investment.

Q. If we got such a good deal on the school, why not sell it and use the profit to build a fire hall with office at the side?
A. The land was originally donated to the community and has a Crown Grant still in place, which means the property may not be sold with the Crown Grant on it. Plus the building has historic value that many landowners wish to preserve.

Q. How much money has been spent renovating and improving the school to date? How has this been budgeted?
A. Renovation costs: $8,370. (full details were provided in the annual general report and are available on the website) Budgeting for this was provided under renewal and replacement in the fire rescue budget.

Q. What is the cost of the old school and how will it be paid for?
A. $700,000, through a five-year mortgage at 5%

Q. Since the purchase, how much space in the building or land is being utilized beneficially and effectively or is this more than we need?
A. All of it is being utilized beneficially and effectively with lease income of approximately $20,000 per year.
