And I really don't get why people begrudge the money they received for all the work they did. I know at this stage of my life I wouldn't devote years of my time for $50,000 or whatever the amount is they received. They worked hard and they deserve it. The POA did not lose, in any sense of the word. It was a victory - as a result of the lawsuit, the developer agreed to pay about $40 million over the 13 years to replenish maintenance accounts and keep the facilities up to date. Its just too bad the developer had to be prompted to do the right thing by a lawsuit, instead of doing it voluntarily.
You have not correctly read my post. My questions are about the lawsuit that was lost by the POA. Who is footing the bill for this one? No one seems to want to answer this question.
