Our HOA's Going to be DOA if They Don't Fess Up

So, we've always been a little annoyed with our HOA. They've left really rude (and horribly misspelled--which is what really gets me) letters on everyone's doors and they charge us $175/year for general maintenance (fence repair, roads, clubhouse upkeep), but we've never seen them keep anything up. We should have gone to their meetings--but we haven't. Well, now comes the real irritation. Comcast just doubled their prices on us, so we decide we're going to switch to iProvo that was installed here not long ago (it's cheaper now than Comcast and the internet is 3x as fast--yay!). Andrew found out from iProvo today that we can't get it because our HOA has told them they can't install it in our neighborhood. What the ?? Shouldn't they notify us of something like that? It just doesn't make any sense why they wouldn't want it here. Something's fishy...

Anyway, we're irritated. So Andrew marched down (with Kate in her pajamas) to an old lady's house that collects our annual fee. She said she didn't know anything about it. But he told me over the phone, "She seemed nervous, though." Yeah--we're on to them! She gave him the name of the president, so Andrew's going to give him a talking to on Wednesday. It's time to get involved. We could persuade some really scary druggies to go to those meetings (just tell them their precious drug money is lining the pockets of the HOA president--:) )!
