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.

Very interesting, Advogado. If I understand you correctly this is a conflict of interest. I wonder if, in the charter of POA, there is an code of ethics/ conduct that address this situation or guidances on how to handle decisions when a conflict of interest arises.
I read material from POA from time to time, which indicated to me the staff at POA trends to look for members best interest. I did not realize (probably because I did not get involved in checking governance issues) of the engagement with the Developer. I shall take time and learn more about this, as I am not (yet) a full time resident at TV.
