The HOA Heist & Democracy
Find out how an unlicensed HOA property manager was able to steal more than $600,000 from homeowners and what they have had to go through to try to get their money back. Meet the HOA board president, a board member and the trial lawyer who fought to bring them to justice with a $2.7 million dollar judgment. Community association managers have a lot of power and responsibility and all-volunteer boards rely and trust them to honestly handle HOA dues, give an accurate accounting, and responsibly handle repairs, maintenance and the rights of homeowners.

About You, Me & Democracy

This podcast is dedicated to the everyday ways we all can impact the world around us to make life better. Democracy isn't just about governments and elections -- it is about building the kind of society we want to live in with the choices and decisions we make every day. Democracy includes our family, our jobs, our hobbies, how we shop, what brings joy or pain, how we treat others and how others treat us. This is the freedom to pursue meaning, quality and purpose in our lives. "If the people lead, the leaders will follow." - Gandhi.
