Pot Farm Plots Issue 18

Goings On LWV issue 18 Sept 23 09

The Garden Center Advisory Group of the Community Activities Committee of the Golden Rain Foundation Board (sounds like something right out of Imperial Russia, doesn’t it?) is meeting tomorrow…that’s THURSDAY morning at 9:00 am in the Birch room.

Anybody who would like to have an explanation about allowing 4 people, two of whom are NOT members of LWV, to grow pot on a community and therefore common ground garden plot might want to attend and ask questions. Bob Hatch heads up the CAC as chair and one of his very favorite things to say is “well, let’s just do it and if it’s illegal we’ll fix it later.” The chair person of the garden center advisory group is none other than the magazine toting champagne drinking GAIL McNULTY who said to the audience at large during the last broadcast GRF meeting that “the sheriff has approved” the plot. That is not true. In fact it was denied in writing by Lt. Griffin, who represents the Sheriff in Laguna Woods. He said, “The Sheriff’s Department did not approve the growing of the marijuana.” Perhaps McNulty should put her magazine and her champagne glass down and pay attention to her responsibilities. Surely one of the pair of McNulty’s serving on two different boards in this community could try to bear the responsibility they have chosen to undertake.

Ask, for instance, what extra security measures have been put in place at YOUR EXPENSE (any and all, remember) to assure the safety of the REST OF THE RESIDENTS who aren’t growing pot on common ground. Oh, you mean there wasn’t any extra security? Ask just exactly how many mature and immature plants there are on the plot. For EACH person bearing a proper prescription there is a limit of 6 mature OR 12 immature plants. Let’s see….that would be 24 mature plants or 48 mature plants TOTAL in that ENTIRE GARDEN PLOT. Better to ask why it was even considered allowable when there are much smaller things disallowed because of potential harm or danger to others such as riding a gyroscooter. WHY are non resident’s who are also not even members being allowed to use garden space when there is a list a mile long of people who DO qualify according to GRF’s OWN RULES for garden space. McNulty must have reached a really interesting decorating page that day.

Ask why they don’t spend as much attention to fulfilling their RESPONSIBILITY AND OBLIGATION to the members of this community as they do to covering their butts when they are caught with their pants down around their ankles…..over and over and over and over again. Why don’t they spend as much attention to responsibility and obligation to the members as they do to manipulating the vote in a recall election. Gail McNulty was one of the targeted directors in that recall, by the way, and the message from the 42-45% was very loud clear. (Somehow it stinks to high heaven of unethical – at the very least – to have two people from the same household sitting on two different boards; James McNulty on GRF and Gail McNulty on United. Hmmmm, I wonder how many votes they cast as members. Are there special rules for couples serving concurrently on boards?)

Ask them when they intend to fire PCM and disband themselves as trustees so we can move forward with a REAL trustee and management that has a clue about integrity and ethics.

Demand action from your boards. All of them. FIRE PCM. DISBAND GRF.
