I have no idea if our HOA funds pay his lawyer, if he pays himself to plow our road (they refuse to hire anyone to maintain it, he does it just fine himself), there are serious drainage issues that won't be addressed, and a litany of other questions that should be answered before forcing a vote.I have yet to move into my house but it seems all of these sudden changes have to do with the Presidents hatred for one family that owns multiple lots (all new covenants and bylaws are aimed at one family, the president even held a secret zoom meeting with us and another new family to steer our vote the way he would like AND mildly trash talk one specific family).Isn't there a law in Indiana to protect homeowners from being forced to vote on such a major decision without providing adequate resources for us to determine if this is right for the community?
