Also, people shouldn't gloss over the conflict of interest between Long Reach Village chair Nina Basu (ED of Inner Arbor Trust, I believe) and the decision by her village board to rush through their appointment/replacement of Evans for Friedman. IAT is constantly begging for money from CA and now, thanks to Friedman getting in, they're closer to getting it. It sure smells fishy from the cheap seats. The rot is deep. Me and others in the community are watching and paying close attention at all levels. Voting and staying engaged is imperative.

Yep. I was one of two residents to show to the meeting. Called out their conflicts of interest in the decision making process. Crickets. Nina knew it was a conflict of interest. So Ed motioned for the appointment of Friedman, and the only other LR Board member present (other than Friedman, which was also appointed by the LR Board) seconded the appointment.

Ed Coleman even mentioned to Friedman he could vote for himself.

A little interesting tidbit.

The same outside counsel that CA board has been using is the same counsel the IAT has used. It's also is the same counsel that's been used by the LR Village when when a former employee made claims of serious misconduct by the Village adminitrators and they were concerned with being sued.
