This is where politicians start. And then it’s on to town boards, and up and up. Every single one of them, almost to a man, want power over others. There is no other explanation. The altruistic politician, ended with George Washington.

I campaigned for an elected office because that approval board (above HOA's in that community) was out of control and beat all the incumbents. I said I would clean up the approval group and did. One of the first, a real estate agent, suddenly retired after 18 years. A few hung on more tenaciously. I highlighted some of their shenanigans and supported homeowners vigorously in an effort to allow more roofing options in. One of the group members was a little too cozy with some roofing contractors. I went "undercover" at a factory training class for the new roofing materials to understand this lightweight alternative, see how it looked, etc. I liked it so much I put it on my previously cedar shingled roof because stone was too heavy for that roof. (installed it myself too) Stone coated steel for those that are interested. Textured and formed to look like stone tiles.

We always hear about the terrible ones though because people don’t talk about the ones that are not problematic.
