I'm not a member of TAG. All five Union Bay Improvement District Trustees have been supported by TAG.
I'm patiently waiting for the members of the UBID Board to provide what was promised prior to the April election.
Do you have what it takes to follow up on your promises?
I've listed a few to jog memories.

"TAG and Anne and I have never said we are going to cut taxes," Molstad said, adding TAG stands for good government. "We want government to be open and accountable."
Let's See the Legal Opinion
Friday, February 04, 2011 I find it necessary to clarify some inaccurate information provided by SM Hargreaves in her recent letter. She is right in stating that Trustee Livesey rose on a point of personal privilege and asked for immediate answers to his questions on December 15th. A point of personal privilege is one of Roberts Rules of Order that allows a member to ask for a direct response to a comment defaming one's character and according to those same rules it supersedes all other business. It is not an "ignorant" attempt to disrupt the meeting. The point of privilege was necessary when it became known throughout the community that UBID, through its own lawyer, had made allegations of illegal conduct against two unnamed trustees. The way this information became public was because the landowner who received the letter shared it with other community residents. To say that "they (UBID) could not speak to a letter they had not received" defies logic. Does that mean that UBID's lawyer made up the allegations on his own and put them into a letter sent on behalf of the Board? Did UBID not receive a copy of all correspondence sent on their behalf? If the Board had, in fact, not seen the letter, then who was directing their lawyer? What are the costs of this unprecedented action? It is these kinds of questions and suspect behaviour that is troubling to many landowners of Union Bay. Now that UBID has a legal opinion regarding the allegations, they should release it to the public - post it on the website or mail it out with the next water bill. Then the community can make up its own mind about what is going on. Carol Molstad Union Bay |
