s, maybe you can vote to add it to the CC&Rs; or just as a rule.
"When it's election time she has proxies signed over to her and votes for whoever she feels she can control."
Under Florida Law, proxies may not be used in an election - period. Specified under Florida Statute, 718.112(2)(d)3 as follows:
3. The members of the board shall be elected by written ballot or voting machine. Proxies shall in
no event be used in electing the board, either in general elections or elections to fill vacancies
caused by recall, resignation, or otherwise, unless otherwise provided in this chapter
There is also a part of the statues which states no unit owner may allow another to vote for them.
Meaning, even if the owners wanted to they may not allow this individual to vote for them in an election - even with power of attorney over the unit.
I am a state certified election monitor and power of attorneys are not allowed to vote for Board members.
An additional requirement to prevent this individual from walking all over the board is by enforcing voting certificates across the board. Most condo docs have a requirement that if the unit is owned by multiple individuals or a corporation a voting certificate signed by all voting members and appointing one of the owners -- not a third part as the voting member. Most times, rental agents are not able to produce a voting certificate.
In general you should probably start by implementing proper election procedures. This individual is walking all over the board because the board has not followed state statutes, laws and proper procedure.
Sincerely,
Jim Court

There was another Mama Gusto's 314 location that closed in February, but someone posted on Facebook at the time that a Soulard re-opening was possible. Gusto's 314 replaced Sage in Soulard in October.

E-mails to management have not been answered and the phone seems to be disconnected, but a tipster sent us the above photo. Although the sign says "Closed Today" and "For Cleaning," our informant says this sign has been on the door since at least Tuesday, January 28.
Gusto's 314's Facebook page was last updated with lunch specials on January 24. We'll update as we learn more.

Here we find ourselves at the beginning of Women’s history month craving inspiring stories of strong and powerful women to look up to. While there are many to cast our eyes upon, we would like to introduce you to Fatima. She may not be well known throughout the world, but her story is just as inspiring to many that know her.
Fatima is from a remote village in India surrounded by the desolate desert. She lives a humble life with her husband, her 8 year old daughter and her two sons ages 11 and 12. To support the family, she and her husband work together on their farm. In India, it is common for the children to follow suit in their parents line of work. But Fatima has bigger dreams for her children than to work on a farm with their families. She wants them to have an education and lives and dreams of their own.
As a child, Fatima lived in a village where sewing was the main trade among the women there. Her mother was an expert in her craft from whom she learned. Her mother had put many dinners on the table with her sewing machine and artful stitching skills. When her mother passed down her sewing machine to Fatima, she too learned the craft of her mother as is custom for so many women in India.
At first, Fatima would practice making simple things with the basic skills she had. But she wanted to learn and grow more, which is what brought her to the Thar Artisan Collective. Through TAC, she was able to learn skills she would have otherwise not been exposed to on her own. With a simple skill, inherited talent, and community support, Fatima’s life evolved in a beautiful and impactful way.
With her newfound passion for the sewn art, Fatima started sewing school dresses for her daughter and house dresses for herself. Committed to learning more, she turned to one of her sons to help her learn on YouTube and she kept on refining her craft. This evolved into more skill building in cutting and sewing techniques she could build upon.
Her neighbors in the village began taking notice of the clothing she was making for her children and began asking her to make clothing for their children for school as well. Now, she is the only woman in the village who is capable of sewing such beautiful clothing for the residents of the village and is able to support her children’s educational pursuits and their dreams that go along with them.
Given that her family’s main source of income is farming, there are months where crops cannot be produced. Fatima’s custom sewing business is able to fill those gaps in income when the farm cannot provide due to drought or other environmental impacts on crops. She is proud that she is able to support her husband and family in this way.
As you can see, Fatima’s life has been positively impacted by her experience with the Thar Artisan Collective. By developing her skills, she can earn money to contribute to her family, support her own aspirations and live her passion to support her dreams.
Fatima’s story is just one of the many inspiring stories that have emerged from the work that WomenServe is doing in India. WomenServe provides women with tools for self-empowerment, including Self-Help Groups that provide economic and leadership training, Village Development Committees that promote women to be decision makers and active community participants, and the Thar Artisan Collective, so she can build her business skills and income.

It’s perfect for me: spacious, well-equipped and surprisingly low kilometres (<60,000 km). What are the issues that I should be wary about, and how can I tell if the issues are present in the car, such as the DSG gearbox, brake wear and tear, cost of replacement parts and whatever may be applicable? I have heard of some newer models with around the same mileage having corroded brakes, as well as the gears failing to change, so should I be worried about it?
Tullow Oil will wring the final barrels of oil from its North Sea wells over the next six months before shutting all eight of its fields by the end of the year.
The FTSE 250 company confirmed ahead of its AGM that its fields in the UK Continental Shelf will stop producing in the third quarter of this year, before the wells are plugged and abandoned entirely.
Its 10 UK wells across eight licences have added an average of just 2,700 barrels of oil a day to its overall 87,700 barrel a day production rate for the year so far.
The UK’s contribution will dwindle to a daily rate of 1,900 this year as a whole, it said.
The shutdowns mark the end of an 18-year era for group, which snapped up the fields from BP in a £201m deal in 2000.
The closures are part of the first wave of oil rig shutdowns, or decommissioning, which will take place across the aging basin in the coming decades.
