Dear Daily Press, Editor Don Holland and Editorial Editor Steve Williams,
There you go again, Daily Press, making politically correct bye lines that are not supported by the facts. This Spring Valley Lake resident and proxy for one of it’s 4,000 homeowners is calling you and your reporter Brooke Edwards out for manipulation of the facts.
The dishonest article in today’s edition, October 28, 2010, is entitled “Investigation clears former SVLA employees”. No where in the article or in the workings of SVLA has anyone been “cleared” of thief charges. The truth is that the District Attorney turned his back on the homeowners of SVLA and refused to prosecute the former employees who absconded with association funds.
Our illustrious Board chairman, Judge Mahlum, must have connections to the District Attorney’s office. Wasted by this board is a $10,000 special audit authorized by this board to help in the investigation and an estimated 50,00 to 100,000 dollars in association funds stolen. We don’t know how much was stolen because we member’s are not allowed to see the audit, at least not the last time I checked. We only get to hear second hand numbers.
If you were a real newspaper, you would first check the facts when you write about SVLA. It is no wonder that Judge Mahlum and general manager Sabo are so faint hearted, it is no wonder that they want the issue of justice in SVL to dissipate. It is no wonder that the theft has been buried in the District Attorney‘s office for over a year in the hopes that SVL would forget. Some of us have a long memory, property values be damned!
