A candidate song

Directors and management should follow the law,
N-R-S one-sixteen should guide us all.
When the attorney gives them information,
Show us the statute, show us the foundation.

We’re not asking for special favors,
We’re asking for transparency.
Records, invoices, contracts and spending—
That’s what homeowners have asked to see.

But questions shouldn’t bring retaliation,
And rules shouldn’t change selectively.
No selective enforcement for those who speak up—
Just equal treatment and transparency.

**Verse 1**
We asked for records, asked for answers,
Asked to see where money went.
Contracts, invoices, bank information,
Show us how our dues were spent.
Four thousand homes are paying into
Everything this community shares.
Transparency should not be a battle—
Homeowners have a right to care.

**Chorus**
Transparency, transparency,
That is what we’re asking for.
No retaliation for asking questions,
No selective enforcement anymore.
Follow N-R-S one-sixteen,
Let the same rules apply together.
Open the records, show the invoices—
Rhodes Ranch residents deserve better.

**Verse 2**
Twenty thousand one hundred dollars,
That’s how high the fines became.
Ten thousand over an alleged mailer,
Five thousand more for words they named.
Then five thousand after reporting
What a director said about a gun.
Why was the person who reported it
The one enforcement landed on?

**Verse 3**
A vendor-contact rule was issued:
Board members were told contact must cease.
Yet records showed other directors
Still communicating seemingly with ease.
If one gets fined while others don’t,
Homeowners deserve to ask whether
That is fair and equal enforcement—
Rhodes Ranch residents deserve better.

**Chorus**
Transparency, transparency,
Let the evidence tell the story.
No retaliation for asking questions,
No selective enforcement selectively.
Follow N-R-S one-sixteen,
Let the law apply together.
Same rules, same rights, same treatment—
Rhodes Ranch residents deserve better.

**Verse 4**
Five emails weekly, that was the limit,
Placed upon an elected director’s work.
No vendor contact, meeting restrictions—
Yet the duties didn’t disappear.
Serving as Treasurer and liaison,
Financial oversight was part of the role.
But Budget and Finance met without me—
How can you oversee what you’re not told?

**Verse 5**
Payroll questions, security spending,
Pool expenses, contracts, reserves.
Large financial issues being discussed there—
Those are matters oversight deserves.
Minutes later showed the questions,
Variances needing follow-through.
Transparency means elected directors
Should know what management is doing too.

**Verse 6**
Eleven thousand for a staff-room kitchen,
Weekly lunches purchased for staff.
Late fees, legal bills and other spending—
Homeowners are paying every tab.
Association funds are homeowners’ money,
Every dollar should be accounted together.
Show the records,
