The VHA does some good things, such as its golf-cart-safety course. However, the VHA is subsidized by the Developer in an obvious effort on the Developer's part to weaken the POA-- which has been a thorn in his side at times. As a consequence, the VHA invariably sides with the Developer in conflict situations. I view supporting the VHA as a matter of individual choice, but people should be aware of its connection to the Developer.
I did not say that I did not support the POA. I just responded to the poll and said why I was not a POA member.

I am a firm believer in the POA. If they had a lifetime membership I would join.

I was driving down to Sweet's Ace in SS to get the POA bulletin monthly before they delivered it.
