Homeowner Opinion Poll    

When confronted with the results of this pole, the Board made several unsupportable claims in an effort to discredit the findings. However, they were not confident enough in their claims, nor interested enough in knowing what residents of SR felt about their performance, to request that the results be recounted in the presence of one of their members.  Also, when asked, they refused to conduct a survey of their own; they chose instead to justify their indifference with this ominous phrase, "silence is consent."                                                               

Of the 264 questionnaires originally distributed, 75 have now been counted.
