Memo for Phil Filechurner, Esq.
Hiya, Phil!
Well, here's another bad Bill for our HOA clients.
We need to explain to Del. Bell that, with this Bill, he's depriving the HOAs of the right to establish their own PRIVATE police forces and fine the homeowners through the HOA's own, (hehe), "courts."
Why is it so difficult for some legislators to simply acknowledge that when Virginians move into HOAs they forfeit their constitutional rights and become second-class citizens? Del. Bell must have realized that these unit owners pay for REAL police protection with their TAXES. Well, OK Del. Bell, but where is the HOA's cut from THAT?
This Bill could discourage the HOA from charging the owners MORE in ASSESSMENTS (not to mention the "fine" revenues) by hiring our CAI pals as "rent-a-cops."
I'll call in the CAI Lobby and get on this one.
As always, have a profitable day.
Your Pal,
