Vote Indian River



Early Voting Scully

I received a letter from Kay Clem, Supervisor of Elections, about the Early Voting dates and locations for the local residents in Indian River.

This election is a historical event and we (the citizens) will be voting in mass. It's going to be a BIG one. So I recommend that we take the opportunity to get it done EARLY.

The Early Voting runs from October 29th through November 1st.

Times - 8:00 am to 4:00 pm

Locations:

Supervisor of Elections Office
4375 43rd Avenue, Unit #101, Vero Beach

Main Library in Vero Beach
1600 21st Street, Vero Beach

Historic Sebastian City hall/ Old School House Building
1235 Main Street, Sebastian

For more information on the candidates and ballot questions see http://www.voteindianriver.com/

Precinct 503 Relocated


Precinct 503 in Indian River County

The current voting location at Senior Center (also known as Senior Resource Center, Senior Resource Association) also called Precinct 503, is temporarily moved to

Osceola Magnet School
665 20th Street
Vero Beach

Tropical Storm Fay caused some damage to the facility and mold has caused concern so the POLL has been moved until corrections can be made. See you there. For data related to the items you will be voting for see www.voteindianriver.com.

Subject: HOA REFORM SURVEY 2008

Dear Florida Homeowner,

CCFJ, Inc. is proud to publish the first Florida survey dealing with issues of homeowners' association legislative reform. It is the first survey of this kind where responses were publicly solicited via media, not by just contacting special interest groups.

We tabulated 1,033 valid responses and here are results and analyses:

Detailed Survey: http://www.ccfj.net/CCFJHOASURVEYCOMPLETERES.html

Summary and Comments: http://www.ccfj.net/CCFJHOASURVEY.html

I would like to thank you all again for submitting your survey responses. Your help is very much appreciated. Without your help it wouldn't have been possible to create such an informative survey.

We received responses from all over Florida -- and the answers are similar. Everybody seems to be in total agreement. The conclusion: Florida Statutes 720 need a serious legislative overhaul -- and Florida HOAs need a regulatory agency with strong enforcement power.

Please note:

Question No. 4: ACCOUNTABILITY OF DIRECTORS received the highest priority rating with 96.9% affirmative votes. The many comments explained why!

Please read the results and analyses of the survey carefully -- it's interesting reading when you consider what we always have been told by special interest groups! This survey clearly shows how Florida's citizens really feel!

We hope that our elected officials TAKE NOTE!

If you have any questions specific to the survey, please contact David I. Goldenberg, Ph.D., who analyzed the survey data, at: dave@ccfj.net .

Thank you again for your help with our project!

And now please help to make our legislators understand that we really mean business. A big HOA reform bill will be filed by State Representative Julio Robaina and Senator Alex Villalobos. But they need all our help to push this bill through Florida's legislature.

Take care,

Jan
