In April of this year I urged support (CCHAL in Calif. stands up to CAI) for CCHAL’s (Center for California Homeowner Association Law) opposition to California’s SB 391 that would allow online vote counting with no meaningful homeowner oversight. Another defeat of fair elections as expected in a community claiming to be democratic. At that time, Marjorie Murray CCHAL President, wrote:
“’The Community Associations Institute (CAI) and the property managers (CACM) are still “stretching the truth’ about SB391 (to put it politely.) CAI and CACM keep publishing ads saying ‘SB391 gives HOAs the right to hold teleconference meetings during an emergency.’ This is FALSE.”
Yesterday Murray wrote in her urgent call to action email,
“SB391 is a dangerous bill – it’s being marketed by the association industry as one that “engages homeowners in governance” when what it really does is strip owners of the right to transparency and accountability in elections.
“SB391 IS NOW ON THE SENATE FLOOR AND WILL BE VOTED ON NEXT WEEK. BE READY TO PHONE YOUR SENATOR TO URGE ‘NO ON SB391/MIN!” Please PHONE, don’t email.”
Get with it Californians! Your voice is needed as legislators pay attention to the widespread voice of homeowners affected by the bill.
