Homeowners Fight Budget Hikes

CORY LAKE ISLES - More than 40 homeowners have sent e-mails or letters to their district manager objecting to the proposed 2009 budget that would raise their fees by more than $1100 per home.
Some called the budget hike “absurd,” “unconscionable” and “shameful.”
Several called on community leaders to reduce the security costs and eliminate a $500,000 budget item for legal costs associated with a lawsuit against developer Gene Thomason.
Several cited a letter from Leo Northington, and some even quoted his letter. Northington wrote:
“This homeowner is beleaguered, angry and exasperated. It seems not to even matter that there is a growing group of others who share my view. After observing the actions of the Board over the last months, my own expectations of local government responsiveness and homeowner (taxpayer) representations have waned. Still, I fight absolute desperation and cynicism. As long as there is a future, hope springs eternal.”
The Community Development District Board meets Tuesday to award bids for new security and landscaping. Tuesday night, the board holds a public hearing before adopting the final budget.
