Whether they publish a positive or negative letter is not important. What is important are their results and you don't have to look too far to see the impact the POA had on siding, the hospital, etc.etc.

Whether residents are better off or not is subjective, mainly because it would appear that there is a general apathy among the residents about how TV runs itself.
I was at the monthly District 6 meeting a few days ago. It was my first time there, and after over a year of part-time residency, and now three months of full-time (hopefully many more to come), I wanted to see how it goes here. There were a total of five sign-ins of residents who showed, and I was informed that the number was typical for a monthly District open meeting.
So, with all of the busy schedules, out of the 12,000 District 6 residents, less than 0.0005% showed to hear, listen, comment, etc.
This is not to say that the POA doesn't provide a worthwhile service. The real question is - does anyone care? By the number or attendees at District monthly meetings, there doesn't seem to be many who do.
