Do you believe labor for mowing the grass did not increase this year?
Do you believe the cost of maintaining the roads in the Villas did not increase this year?
Do you believe the cost of electricity did not increase this year?

Do you believe ANYTHING that the maintenance fee pays for did not increase this year? Because if anything DID increase this year (like electricity increasing $300K) then either the maintenance fee must increase or something that we enjoy now must be dropped.

Hey, I'm all for dropping every street light and being able to see the stars again but I suspect that suggestion would not get very far.
