Twin Rivers board candidates speak
Thanks to Fred Pilot for passing me this link. Twin Rivers, in New Jersey, is the focal point of a major case (in which I am an expert witness) filed by the ACLU to get judicial recognition of state constitutional rights for HOA residents. The Committee for a Better Twin Rivers (whose side I testified for) is challenging the HOA, alleging that the internal political processes of the HOA are undemocratic and illiberal. Here's a press description of how local democracy is proceeding at Twin Rivers:

EAST WINDSOR — Candidates running for the Twin Rivers Homeowners Association's board of directors shared ideas about the future of their community during a candidates night last week at the Twin Rivers Community Center.
Three of the four candidates — challenger Al Wally, incumbent Joseph Molinari and incumbent Lori Vono — participated in the Nov. 18 forum directed by Nominating Committee Chairman Wilson Hernandez. Incumbent Roger Frey was absent because of a family emergency.
The forum got off to a boisterous start after Mr. Wally personally insulted Mr. Molinari during opening statements. Mr. Molinari stood from his chair and said he refused to participate in the event with Mr. Wally, whom he called an "obnoxious idiot."Mr. Molinari was convinced to stay by audience members, including board President Scott Pohl and Vice President Herb Felzer.

I don't know what Wally said that insulted Molinari, but I notice that the board President (who has occupied the position for quite some time) and VP wanted Molinari to stay despite calling Wally an "obnoxious idiot." Does that sort of language constitute "sharing ideas," I wonder?
