Vision is on the way out and according to those who know a
lot more than I, Vision is a big part of the problem and cannot be
trusted.
The current BOD (Jill) refuses to answer questions, supply
information and says, “None of your business”. I suspect she/they doesn’t know.
Three candidates sent resumes. They claim some business
sense, financial experience and knowledge. That’s good. We need people who
know something and have some sense.
I know little about the members of the current BOD but have
a lot of reason to believe they are making very bad decisions.
We all received a letter from Maggie letter dated May 10. It
was great! Among other remarkable things, she wrote, “I am currently a new
target of the ‘negative blog’.” So much for nice.
Her letter included an invitation to call. I called, asked
some questions, listened to a lot of stuff that included allegations about
others. I asked her to provide documentation or proof of what she was saying.
Nothing. She told me the Blog is ‘disgusting’, said in an e-mail ‘Do you wear a
hearing aid?’, called me a ‘liar’, complained about Shareholders
‘micromanaging’ or other stuff.
She also kept talking about being 2nd ‘runner-up’
winner and talking and talking and talking ...................................................................................
I wonder if Maggie knows George Wallace was also 2nd
‘runner-up winner' in the 1968 election. If he wasn’t dead, could he be on the Board?
Union Rags
was 6th runner-up winner in this year’s Kentucky Derby. Caroline Cheptonui Kilel of Kenya
was 4th runner-up winner in the NYC Marathon for 2011.
My favorite
stuffed rooster was 4th runner-up winner in the 1919 Maryland State Fair.
(see pic)
Maggie also
threatened to ‘record’ our conversation if we speak again.
I doubt
that I will call again. (I always
take notes.)
(What is a "runner-up winner"?)
I do agree with Maggie’s ire at the sublet charges/fees.
More about that to come.
I also understand what Maggie and Jill have in common.
Re: Maggie’s letter … res ipsa loquitur
Please read the so-called proxy sent to you by the Board of Directors very carefully.
ReplyDeleteBecause they are very afraid that they will be SUED FOR MULTIPLE BREACHES OF FIDUCIARY DUTIES for which they can be held PERSONALLY LIABLE, Jill Schachter, Barry Nelson Alicia Speigel, Maggie Warford and Fran Rothkin are now trying to trick shareholders into signing a document that authorizes the proxy holder to RATIFY AND CONFIRM everything the Officers and Directors have done since the last annual meeting.
In other words, they want you to make it impossible for anyone to investigate how they have spent your money and covered up for Peter Mesos.
Prosecutors call this consciousness of guilt. The Board knows what they have done, and is willing to stoop to any level to cover-up their malfeasance.
Vision Management has cut and run, but the stink of corruption will remain until we finish cleaning house.
"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. - Matthew 5:25. Some wisdom right there...
ReplyDeleteDoes Jill's boss at Macy's know how much time she spends YELLING AT SHAREHOLDERS AND TRYING TO COMMIT ELECTION FRAUD??
ReplyDeleteMaybe Treasurer Alicia Spiegel can take some from her busy schedule preying on our seniors and signing blank checks for Jill Schachter (does Bayer Healthcare know exactly how much time she spends at the Valerie instead of working?) and GIVE US OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
DeleteTreasurer Speigel: WHERE ARE OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS??????
Nobody interested in your finger pointing at Marc Ullman and Harvey Berman and sending out illegal proxies . . . you have a job to do and you are FAILING TO DO IT. The By Laws say that you were supposed to deliver the financial statements before the end of March. IT IS NOW THE THIRD WEEK OF MAY!
YOU ARE IN BREACH OF YOUR FIDUCIARY DUTIES TO THE SHAREHOLDERS? WHERE ARE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS? WHAT ARE YOU HIDING? HOW MUCH OF OUR MONEY HAVE YOU ALLOWED JILL SCHAACHTER TO WASTE? DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT YOU WILL NOT BE HELD PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE?
To President Schachter: Don't tell me or any other shareholder that it is none of my business. IT IS MY BUSINESS. YOU ARE DESTROYING OUR COOP.
To other Board Members: Barry Nelson, Fran Rothkin, Maggie Seminara Warford: WE WILL HOLD YOU ACCOUNTABLE AS WELL. YOU ARE AS GUILTY AS JILL SCHACHTER AND ALICIA SPIEGEL. Their paychecks from Maycs and Bayer Healthcare will not be nearly enough to pay for what they have done; we will also look to you to repay what you have allowed to have been taken from us.
WHERE ARE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS????
WE ARE STILL WAITING.
On question that we must all ask Mr. Adam Bailey is "Did you authorize this proxy for the June 19 2012 election?"
ReplyDeleteIf he claims yes, then he can be sued for malpractice.
If he claims no, then the board, including the President, Jill Schachter, can be sued for breaching their Fidicuiary Duties.
There are many shareholders that will contribute $$$$$ to sue the board.
One way or another someone is going to be sued. This is a win, win for the shareholders of the Valerie Arms.
To the Board, we the shareholders strongly suggest that you modify this proxy immediately. Modify it to the proxies that have been used for years at every Board Election.
If the answer is yes, does this work fall under coop legal work that should be paid by shareholders or would it fall under re-election actvitiies, which should be paid for privately by those running for re-election.
DeleteIn the past, Vision Management always provided the form of proxy. As it turns out, while those were not prepared correctly, they were not facially invalid and were not used to disfranchise shareholders. (Vision attempted to use the proxy trick to prevent shareholders from having their votes counted last year, but I put a very quick stop to that sleaziness).
DeleteThe proxy sent by the Board is facially illegal (New York law does not allow the Board or anyone else to dictate the form of proxy you can use) would have you ratify and approve everything this Board has done, and appoint Jill Schachater as your proxy holder.
Since the Board wants you to approve their activities and protect them from any future effort to hold them accountable for their actions, and this is an effort to get proxies for Jill Schachter, it seems pretty clear that this should be considered an election related activity.
The individual board members should have paid whoever prepared the proxy with their own money. The individual board should have paid for the mailing, copying and envelopes with their own money.
Instead, they used your money to pay for their campaign.
On a lighter note, everyone should notice the new tables, new chairs and new umbrellas at the pool. Two new tables, 12 new chairs, and two new umbrellas.
ReplyDeleteBut the best of all, our Board President made sure that her closest friends at the pre-taken table (pre-taken every year for the past million years )have a new table, new chairs and a new umbrella.
Our Board President is keeping her word to her best friends that she will take good care of them, if she sides with her.
Also, note, that Jane who is on the Pool Committee, a non-shareholder, will be enjoying the perks of a new table, a new chair and new umbrella for herself , at her pre-defined table year after year.
What is the status of the pool opening? Didn't the notice say it would take two weeks?
It looks like it may take two months !!!!!!!
I hope that I did not waste my money joining this year.
Why are there non-shareholders (renters) on the pool committee? Why should anyone who is not an owner at our coop HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT HOW WE SPEND OUR MONEY?
DeleteThis question has been in the minds of many shareholders - Why has our board allowed non-shareholders to be on committees that have a say HOW IS OUR MONEY BEING SPENT?
DeleteAsk Jill Schachter this question - You should know the answer already 'IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS'
I would be curious to know if the last ten years of pool memberships combined would pay for the work that is being done on the pool right now? I won't ask though...financials of a building that I partially own are apparently none of my business. Just like the management company that I parially pay, the parking lot that I park in, and the mortgage that I partially contribute to. NONE OF MY BUSINESS. I'm not sure who is less intelligent...the BOD or the people who continue to support them. Like Will Ferrell said in Zoolander, "DOESN'T ANYBODY NOTICE THIS? I FEEL LIKE IM TAKING CRAZY PILLS!"
ReplyDeleteWhat'$ in it for Jill $chachter that $he ha$ gone Balla$tic ever $ince Marc Ullman tried to replace Vi$ion Enterpri$e$ and Peter Me$o$??
ReplyDeleteTo - Dump the Board
ReplyDeleteYou want to know what is in if for Jill Schachter to go so ballastic ever since Marc Ullman tried to replace Vision Enterprises and Peter Mesos.
WELL HERE IS YOUR ANSWER AND PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY -
The only reason a human being would go so ballastic to save a company is one thing and one thing only - YES YOU ARE RIGHT - THE ALL MIGHTY $$$$$$$.
Jill must a vested percentange interest as a silent partner in Vision Enterprises based upon incoming revenue collected. The more revenue Vision collects the higher her partner distribution check; The less revenue Vision collects the lower her partner distribution check.
When a partner of a company knows that the company is losing revenue for any reason and that a partners distribution check will be less than previous, it makes for a very unhappy person. So unhappy that the person will go to any extreme to blame everyone else for the lose of income.
If a company is solid and profitable over many years, even profitable in hard ecomonic times, then the company has a solid management team that watches out for the company clients, the company finances and the concern of the company partners.
If a company is not solid and does not have a solid management team and takes advantage of the company clients, then this produces a negative dominio effect, which eventually will effect the partners share of revenue in the company.
Bottom Line - Vision has been taking advantage of the Valerie Arms and other Co-op's they manage for many years. They were questioned and got caught. This means less management fees coming into Vision. This means less dollars on partners distribution checks. This means a very unhappy Jill Schachter.
It is based Finances - OOPS - sorry, I used the word "FINANCES". A word that we are not allowed to ask or discuss at the Valerie Arms because IT IS NOT OUR BUSINESS.
Remember Asking Questions and Demanding Answers "IS NOT OUR BUSINESS".
Lets wait to see what the Super Lawyer, Adam Bailey has to say.
To all Legal Professionals, you have my check and signature to being the sueing process on June 20, 2012 at 9:00 am sharp.
Well if that is the case then Jill will have a serious problem during the upcoming lawsuit. If sued she will have to provide authorizations to obtain her tax returns for a substantial period of time. That will show who and where her income comes from, silent or not! Hear this Jill, we will dig and find everything, and make it public.
DeleteIf this is not the case, then Jill truly needs to seek professional help for anger management immediately and I will be more than happy to drive her to get the professional help she needs.
DeleteBut, I am betting on the Silent Percentage Partnership theory. Vision has been paying for a mistake due to her Life Changes, as Jill clearly stated in one of the chapters of the book she has been sending the shareholders.
I am an outside shareholder I have a question for Maggie Warford,I recieved your letter that says that you will create and run a corporate website for the Valerie Arms. to my knowledge most Management companys create, manage and maintain these websites for their clients. What kind of Management Company did you hire? I know IT IS NONE OF MY BUSINESS but why won't you tell us who it is? I am starting to be afraid that you geniuses re-hired Vision Management. What is the matter with you people.
ReplyDeleteWebsite exists - ValerieArmsLittleNeck.com but Board has refused to post anything there. Maggie cannot be on Board as majority of shareholders voted against non resident members. Miss Schachter was at that meeting.
DeleteMaybe Vision just created a new corporation and that is who the idiots hired.
ReplyDeleteIf they did rehire Vision there will be a lawsuit and I will be the ring leader.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Maggie creating a web-site? Wasn't that Alicia Spiegel's job when she came onto the board - to create the newsletter and the Valerie Arms website???
ReplyDeleteI truly believe the statement stated above about a company partnership. I have seen it happen in the company that I work for. I have 120 partners to answer to.
ReplyDeleteOnce there was a decrease in the quarterly income and the partners received smaller distribution checks then previous; All broke out and the partners began to call screaming and demanding answers why less money, what is management doing to protect the partners, what are the expenses so high,....etc.
