From my time as a human resources executive, I can tell you, 6:06, that attorneys and business people have different skill sets. That middle managers and top level executives have different skill sets. <br /><br />Just because someone is an attorney does not mean they are a good leader. I think 3:27 is trying to say that looking at the track record and the state of PCVST it seems we do not have the right people in the right jobs. They current Board and President are better suited for other jobs where their strengths match the needs of the position. <br /><br />I think it is safe to say there are too many failures here to leave the current Board in place. We need to change the leadership to a more qualified one.

How they manage with one bathroom per unit is beyond me because one bathroom for a family of two to four can be a headache! I am sure that in the "old days" there was nowhere near the demand for electricity that there is now because, apart from fewer people living here, they didn't have multiple television sets, computers, printers, etc., not to mention the dishwashers that the MR units have. Actually, the dishwasher is the only thing I envy the MR tenants for. I feel pity for them on all other counts!<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837176580996082182.post-36874778157601604012014-08-18T23:48:44.807-04:002014-08-18T23:48:44.807-04:00That last comment really confuses me.

We know CWC admitted increasing the population by at least 25% and that at least 4000 apartments are now dorms and we have seen the many ads for roommates beyond the CWC reported population. It is safe to say our population probably increased close to 40% with all the wall partitioned dorms and the extra roommates the students bring in that aren't on the leases.
