Leisure World is facing a test of its “Governance Legitimacy.” It is unlike any faced previously within this Community. It’s not just over a proposed new Administration Building, though that looms large. Or that the Leisure World Community is bitterly divided over this seemingly, needless waste of money. Or that the Leisure World Board will renew, again, the contract of a General Manager, who by any objective assessment is an incompetent. No!

The dilemma, which this illegitimate LWCC Board does not grasp, is that many of the LW Residents, who have lived under this undemocratic governance system, have been working diligently from within the Community to bring about needed change.
