SENATOR SHEILA KUEHL JUST DOESN'T GET IT!

July 16, 2007

So there you have it! With California Senate Bill 127 - there she goes again - Senator Sheila Kuehl pimps my association and yours too! AND she ruins it for the thousands of other California titleholders in homeowner associations as well. Apparently she doesn't care what the impact of her BAD Senate Bill 127 is! She doesn't care how many people have to pay the consequences for HER BAD JUDGMENT. She just doesn't give a damn.

HEY SHEILA WHAT GIVES!

This author wants to know who Senator Sheila Kuehl is beholden to? It makes sense to ask that question because she certainly could NOT have been asked by any titleholder to create such a ridiculous, nonsensical, idiotic, c-o-s-t-l-y bill. It appears she certainly is not beholden to those of us who VOTED FOR HER. What about her constituents?

HEY SHEILA WHY DO YOU REFUSE TO LODGE OPPOSITION TO YOUR BILL WITH THE PROPER COMMITTEES!

Despite that I have asked Kuehl's office to file the opposition papers put forth by HOAATM members, AND by me, and despite the fact that I have written letter after letter detailing the problems with this Senate Bill, NOT ONE LETTER WAS FORWARDED OR LODGED AS "OPPOSITION" WITH THE APPROPRIATE COMMITTEE(S).

I intentionally wrote Senator Kuehl and demanded she forward my letters to the appropriate committees to be filed as "opposition." SHE DID NOT DO SO.

It seems to me that Senator Kuehl is intentionally attempting to bypass any bad press her bill is gathering -- and there is a lot of bad press on it because the bill does not work and it cannot work.

HEY SHEILA YOUR BILL IS REDUNDANT!

Hell-o out there Sheila Kuehl . . . the bill is redundant and need not have been written in the first place. Assuming that I base the aforementioned facts on nothing more than what an aid in her office told me: "by law you already have 3 days to cancel the deal." Does it get more moronic than that? Is Kuehl trying to pull something on all homeowners because she may have promised SOMEONE or SOME ENTITY SOME-THING? If the buyer has ONLY 3 days to cancel the deal, then what the hell good does 20 + days to get documents matter?

HEY SHEILA INQUIRING MINDS WHAT TO KNOW!

Inquiring minds want to know: WHY would a person who professes to have a high school diploma and who was VOTED INTO position like Kuehl with a DUTY TO THE PUBLIC CONSISTING OF A GROUP OF HOMEOWNERS FORCE HER BAD THROW-UP BILL SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS UNTIL WE CHOKE ON IT?
