It only took them a couple of weeks to get this health info out to us. Maybe if they had a website like SPMUD2 does?
July 5, 2006
Homeowners in Sienna Plantation:
As the principal landowner and developer in the community, Sienna/Johnson received the attached correspondence directly from Sienna Plantation Municipal Utility District (MUD) No. 1. Residents in the community should receive the same information from your respective internal MUD District (MUD’s 2,3,10 and 12) with your next utility bill or via some other District correspondence. Since each
MUD District must meet individually and determine how to communicate this information to their users, some residents may not receive a notice until late July or early August of 2006. Therefore, Sienna/Johnson is sending you an advance copy of the MUD 1 letter. Sienna/Johnson does not have the authority to speak or act on behalf of any of the MUD Boards; we are simply passing along information from the district as a steward of the community. Please note that while Sienna/Johnson does not own and operate the District water production facilities, we are working closely with Sienna MUD No.1 to support their efforts in achieving a timely resolution to this issue.
As of the date of this letter, MUD 1 had commissioned a pilot study to analyze the most
effective engineering solution for reducing the naturally occurring fluoride that
was detected in the latest well sample. The results of the study are expected to
be completed in late July or early August of 2006. In the interim, Sienna/Johnson
has invited representatives from MUD 1 to attend the July 25th Development
Update meeting at 7pm at Sienna Crossing Elementary. They will be available to
personally answer any questions that you may have on this issue. MUD 1 has
also provided a phone contact in their notice for users who wish to speak with a
MUD representative prior to the Development Update meeting.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Smith
General Manager
Sienna/Johnson Development, L.P.
_______________
Comment: I think Mr. Smith leaves out the information that Sienna/Johnson Dev. appointed the SPMaster MUD 1 board. SPMUD2 is the only resident elected board currently in Sienna and they are running a website that keeps their citizens posted on issues like this. Why doesn't SPMaster MUD1?

Here's an update on FBN.com on the comments from the 2nd Wal-Mart being located on one of the Mo-City mayor's top developer givers land off hwy 6:
This will be Wal-Mart’s second super center in Missouri City – the first is at 5501 State Highway 6, near Riverstone Blvd. In Fort Bend County, Wal-Mart also has stores in Sugar Land, Richmond and Stafford.
1 FBC Resident - Jun 30, 09:11 pm
Wow, just what we needed – more shopping. I’ve been wondering where I was going to go to do all of my shopping, since there doesn’t seem to be very many retailers along Highway 6 through Sugar Land and Missouri City. Isn’t there a Walgreen’s at this same location that’s been ready for nearly a year but can’t open until there’s a traffic light installed at the entrance to Lake Shore Harbor? I just wonder how much retail busness our economy can support…

Another one? How unfortunate.
3 Sienna Resident - Jul 5, 10:16 am
Want to stop Wal-mart from their obnoxious expansion? Shop at Target!!!!!!!
4 fourthwheel - Jul 5, 10:12 pm
Good point, Sienna Resident. I agree completely. Some will undoubtedly say that WM is cheaper, but there’s better service elsewhere for only slightly more money.
5 Vicksburg Residence - Jul 8, 11:48 am
Why would Wal Mart build another store when they already have a store 3 miles north on Highway 6. The traffic will be horrible and it will increase crime in the area!
6 redneckgirl - Jul 8, 01:55 pm
I agree with all of you. Even though we do have to travel a bit to and from stores, I do not feel that we need another Walmart in that location. 288 and Hwy 6 maybe.

Does that mean the other Wal-mart will be closing or can one be changed to a Sam’s club…please?

What evidence do you have for the claim that you make that this CAI cartoon "depicts CAI staff members reacting to criticism of CAI's holy grail that HOA members have no rights" ...
Do you have an explaination for the lies, and misquotes in this CAI staff article that demeans homeowner activists?

You all have made an incorrect interpretation of the cover. It depicts CAI staff members reacting to criticism of CAI's holy grail that HOA members have no rights.

4. Homeowners/consumers, through articles like this, are waking up to the tyranny of this group
The level of consumer contempt displayed in this release of the CAI is nothing short of the mid-20th century propaganda released from eastern block countries to paint a rosey picture and to marginalize, isolate and alienate those seeking freedom in the west. Such rhetoric is only demeaning to those propagating it.
The American consumer is far too sophisticated to buy-in to this low a level of marketing by a special interest antagonist!
Homeowners/consumers, through articles like this, are waking up to the tyranny of this group and the lobby they support (the lawyers feeding off this system for self benefit). This is almost comic. No quality awards should ever be considered for this group and the not so hidden agenda they spew!

3. Yup - this is the perfect caricature of a once normal and happy human being turned monster HOA homeowner advocate
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Let's have some fun with this picture. Yeah - it really does speak to how CAI HOA vendors really feels about homeowners and that's not much.
Therefore - prospective homebuyers BEWARE!! The HOA industry group of vendors from the Community Ass. Institute really don't like you much...they want to chastise the homeowner advocates who are fighting to protect your home and property value! And they don't even live in our homes so what could possibly be their interest in it???? MONEY! Either that or they are just unbelievably nosey and bored with too much time on their hands. Why someone gets a rise out of controlling how others should live in their homes is beyond me. Rather sick character eh?
The CAI vendors make a living off of HOA's. So, who YOU gonna believe?????
What is this really a picture of?
TEN THINGS THAT CAUSE HOA HOMEOWNERS TO LOOK LIKE PUKING MONSTERS:
1. This is how an HOA homeowner looks after finding out they JUST bought a house with an HOA.
2. This is how an HOA homeowner looks puking up the Community Ass. Institute garbage they've been overfed by HOA industry lawyers, property managers and boards.
3. This is how an HOA homeowner looks after the HOA vendor lawyers and judges get done slicing and dicing them on the cold slab of "justice" - Geez, all the homeowner wanted to do was see the books and records. Guess that's too much to ask for especially since it's OUR MONEY!!
4. This is how an HOA homeowner looks who has lived too long fighting viciously to protect their rights, privacy and homes from the grubworms who live beneath the surface of the common grounds.
5. This is how an HOA homeowner looks to those political "prostitutes" have been bought by the HOA industry slobbyists.
6. This is how an HOA homeowner looks to an HOA vendor judge who during litigation is falling asleep at the helm, legs propped up on his desk, taking his smoke break every 45 minutes, and just milkin' his retirement check - besides - he doesn't live in an HOA!
7. This is how an HOA homeowner looks after hearing about the garbage law that just got passed stripping HOA homeowners of even MORE rights that turn them into prisoners of their own homes.
8. This is how an HOA homeowner looks after a short time of being incarcerated in an HOA regimes.
9. This is how deathly sick an HOA homeowner can become trying to get approval to paint their home.....see those paint chips the homeowner is puking?
10. Yup - this is the perfect caricature of a once normal and happy human being turned monster HOA homeowner advocate fighting to protect their home sweet home from the grubworms lurking beneath the surface of the common grounds!
.........and damn proud to be one!

2. Come on Chris Durso..surely you can find a more rewarding and respectable job to do with your pen!
Looks as if homeowner victims, their families and friends are shining their lights on the CAI equity thieves in HOA board rooms, communities, courts, media and legislative halls.
No wonder the ole CAI propagandist guys and gals are desperately "spewing forth junk and garbage". Isn't that what skunks do when cornered?

1. CAI Dirt!
It is quite amazing that CAI would caricature homeowners on the front cover of its national trade magazine! This shows what CAI really thinks of homeowners.
CAI members are the ones who fleece people of their homes and life savings, rig elections, make board members into cowering idiots, foment disputes in homeowner associations - and yet they want to present themselves as calm, rational people, and homeowners as raving lunatics.
It reminds one of how the Nazis calmly and rationally planned the destruction of the Jewish people. I wonder what picture of the Jews who protested, would the Nazis have put on the cover of their magazine!
The meaning of the name of CAI's magazine, Common Ground, has now taken on a new meaning. Common ground is dirt. And that is what their magazine has now openly become.

AHRC Article (see comments above):
Beware the Aggravating Advocates!
CAI's propagandist portrays homeowner advocates as ugly monsters spewing forth junk and garbage
July 10, 2006
By George K. Staropoli (View author info)
Scottsdale, Arizona -
And how does the foreclosure lawyers trade group CAI portray these homeowners who are exercising their right to free speech?
As with the best of political statements following the politics of personal destruction, CAI, that claims to be a "friend of the legislature" with its vigorous national lobbying effort, resorts to demonizing these decent people fighting for their rights as shown in its May-June issue.
They think the community association model is inherently flawed. They think CAI is the industry and the industry is corrupt. They call themselves homeowner advocates, and they're coming soon to a state legislature, website, or listserve near you. If they're not already there
It's 2 p.m. the Saturday before Valentine's Day, and Shu Bartholomew is on the air. The topic is homeowner associations. On Bartholomew's weekly radio show, On the Commons , the topic is always homeowner associations, and if you're curious about what the host herself thinks of them, look no further than the little cartoon sign on her website: "You are now leaving the American Zone.".
The negative imagry is quite apparent. A scary monster raises its horrible, ugly head above the community, bringing fear to the good and loyal followers of the authoritarian Homeowner Association government. This loathing creature is spewing forth harmful garbage and junk, poisoning the minds of HOA residents.
A truly first class job in propaganda by CAI's propaganist Chris Durso. We should all make badges of this cover and wear it to the legislative sessions to reflect our monstrous personalities, and maybe we can scare the hell out of the legislators.
Ck this one out jk:
Can I take his place?
An attorney telephoned the governor just after midnight, insisting that he talk to him regarding a matter of utmost urgency.
An aide eventually agreed to wake up the governor.
"So, what is it?" grumbled the governor.
"Judge Garber has just died" said the attorney, "and I want to take his place."
The governor replied: "Well, it's OK with me if it's OK with the undertaker."
More from FBN.com comments on the second Wal-Mart in Mo-City:
Missouri City Gets Its Second Wal-Mart Super Center
by FortBendNow Staff, Jun 30, 2006, 11 09 am
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. has purchased 33.5 acres in Missouri City for a new super center.
The giant retailer plans to open the store at State Highway 6 and Lake Shore Boulevard in the third quarter of 2007, said Bob Graf, economic development coordinator for Missouri City.
“They came and talked with us about six to eight months ago,” Graf said. “It takes them a long time to build one of their stores.”
Wal-Mart purchased the land from developer Clinton Wong.
This will be Wal-Mart’s second super center in Missouri City – the first is at 5501 State Highway 6, near Riverstone Blvd. In Fort Bend County, Wal-Mart also has stores in Sugar Land, Richmond and Stafford.

If I lived near that intersection, I would be pissed. Besides the fact that they abuse their employees, the last thing this area needs is another W-Mart. Yikes!
Hi JK:
"Never give in--never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.'' WC
Who really runs this state. See top contributors from Clean Up TX Politics (website):
Are YOU in the Owner's Box?
In Texas' 2002 state elections, 114 individuals gave campaign contributions to candidates and PACs totaling $100,000 or greater. This is almost three times the median annual per capita income in the state of Texas. This begs the questions: Who has a say in Texas state politics? Whose voice is being heard?
Are you concerned that your representative or candidate might be taking large contributions from these big-money players? Find out by downloading our "See for Yourself" research guide. Once you've followed the money on the Texas Ethics Commission's campaign contribution search engine, you can email the entire legislature to let them know you're tired of the status quo.
