Dear Editor:
I attended the Walden Lake Community meeting Oct. 21, and the dysfunction displayed by some of the board members was disturbing.
Question after question was asked of the board by residents, and board members stood firm with the advice of the attorneys present not to answer them. Why?
This board was approached back in 2008 by Visions Golf to ask if they would assist Visions Golf in removing a clause stating the golf course needs to remain in existence until 2015. Visions Golf had plans then to rezone all of these years, and some board members knew of his plans but did not reveal them to the residents. Meanwhile, folks have been buying homes these past years on a now-defunct golf course.
The headline in the Oct. 24 Plant City Times & Observer reads that a workshop is going to take place discussing the fate of the golf course. The board has never issued any answers to the golf course issue on the advice of apparently their/our attorneys, because nothing has been filed by Visions Golf to the city. So, why would they be willing to answer any questions now? And why are these attorneys that the residents pay for only answering to the WLCA board members?
