Association newsletter, formal communication or personal soapbox?

The Management Agent has been asked to place the following on the Board's agenda for their next meeting:

1 - Regarding the September 24, 2014 Newsletter, please provide minutes of the meeting at which the newsletter was approved.

2 - If not approved by the Board or Newsletter Committee, who approved it?

3 - If the Newsletter was not prepared by the Newsletter Committee, who prepared it?

3 - Was the Newsletter printed and mailed at the expense of the Association?

4 - Who authorized the printing and mailing of this Newsletter at the expense of the Association?

5 - By what legal authority did the Association fund the printing and mailing of the Newsletter if not authorized by the Board or Newsletter Committee?

6 - Pursuant to Virginia Condominium Act, § 55-79.75, was notice given to homeowners for the meeting at which the Newsletter was approved.

The September 2014 Newsletter was unprecedented — a six page Newsletter with nine pages of documents from a formal complaint.

There's nothing wrong with a personal soapbox, but the Association may not legally fund it.
