The council member did not recuse himself from voting … Continue reading →

It takes work to get it […]

  What the Heck is Good Standing in an HOA? A recent question was sent to me, seemingly simple, “What is the legal definition for “a member of good standing”? As I have said probably 1000 times in my career, there very seldom are easy answers. I often go to the dictionary for the Internet when […]
