Thank you so much for documenting all of this. It's such a valuable asset for the community to stay informed without having to watch hours of meetings. I really appreciate you.

Do you know if there has been any mention of what the potential ethics violations are? I know there is at least some involvement of Alan Klein given that he was removed from the board before getting voted back in. That seems like a major contributing factor to what is going on with the board and Lakey, but I was wondering if there was any actual info on what Klein did.

Thank you so much for documenting this! Im not as aware of local issues as I would like, but the lack of transparency and use of HOA funds is quite concerning. Is there any further reading that you’d recommend to better understand the situation? And is there anything Columbia residents can do to encourage transparency??

Wow, this is quite an extensive list! I’ll definitely take a look at everything you’ve suggested and talk with my neighbors about these issues too. Not sure how widely known they are, but it’s important to stay informed! Thanks so much!!!

Echoing that making sure neighbors are aware and vote in village elections is paramount. Barely anyone votes- which makes every single vote very impactful.

This is such important information! Thank you for sharing
