Restore the ninth commandment in Fenton

This year there will be no backyard ice rink on the corner of Millerway and Carriage Hill Dr in Andover Woods Fenton. No kids outside laughing. No kids outside exercising. No kids outside learning to be friends without an internet connection. Though the City of Fenton has the power to override association bylaws, its Mayor, Manager, and council chose legislation over plain old common sense. They allowed one resident to manipulate and influence key decision makers. The majority no longer counts as a voice. The homeowner association chose to let its management company run by lawyers dictate the rule of land in Andover Woods. This is what our world has come to people. We will continue to pretend we love thy neighbor while ignoring our reality is not true American Democracy. I want to thank all those that supported me over the past several years on this issue.
