Rent Control and New HOA Working!

In spite of the fact that we didn't get rent control, there have been improvements in Park maintenance. Some streets have been paved (from the rent control effort) and some of the Park's trees have been trimmed (from HOA's effort). Of course, things are only getting half done, just like the half truths when management talks. As soon as the rent control issue went away , the plan for repaving the whole Park went away. This is the kind of people we have to deal with, unfortunately. The new HOA will be addressing the issue of Park maintenance and will do all it can to be successful. Our HOA is the best tool we have right now to help the people of El Dorado. If you haven't joined yet, please do. If you can't afford the $12 per year we can help you with that.

Rent Control is not over!

The next move to get rent control is to get a good City Council in place. In November we have that opportunity. Gayle Washburn and Jamey Brooks will be running for 2 seats and they have demonstrated a strong desire to help El Dorado. We need all the help we can get to ensure their election. With them in office (January 2009) we will get rent control! Better late than never. The present City Council majority was against helping the residents of El Dorado. Gayle, Jamey and Patti Walker WILL be our friends and help us as much as they can. Talk to everybody you know about the importance of getting Gayle and Jamey elected.
