Southampton Board ignoring § 55-79.75:1 Virginia Condominium Act

For 7 years, the Southampton Board has ignored § 55-79.75:1 Virginia Condominium Act regarding distribution of information by members. Specifically:

A. The executive organ shall establish a reasonable, effective, and free method, appropriate to the size and nature of the condominium, for unit owners to communicate among themselves and with the executive organ regarding any matter concerning the unit owners' association.

B. Except as otherwise provided in the condominium instruments, the executive organ shall not require prior approval of the dissemination or content of any material regarding any matter concerning the unit owners' association.

We expected better from the new Board.
