CZ Forecasted Elections Results Materialize

For the last six years, the CotoBuzz Journal has correctly forecasted the results of the CZ Master Association board of directors elections – results of the 2008-2009 elections were no different.  The CZ Master association still relies on an arcane form of delegate system, critics have called corrupt, as opposed to direct popular elections promoted in a California law passed in 2006.  Since the law passed, the CZ board has used a number of excuses to not use direct popular elections, from not having enough time, to being too costly to prevent fraud, to apathy.

So, what can residents expect from the new CZ board?  More of the same:  Systematic opposition to direct elections, more subsidies and less transparency.
