Our Story So Far... On July 1, management announced that there were tallying errors by the machine in Building-3, and that residents who voted there would be asked to recast their votes. It was subsequently announced that the whole community would be repolled, and a date was set for September 14th. Meanwhile, Director Margarett Jolly has resigned from the Board, and Candidates Finston and Ramirez have withdrawn their candidacies. This is gonna get ugly folks! |
