no power at all. He must do as the powers say or else your a moiser. Look at how many ba's Lakewood had in past 10 years. I think 5-6 if I remember correctly. I think app wrote about it.

The opinion on the statements OCBOA is not adverse. Only adverse on the GAAP aspect.

But they did find some material weaknesses in internal control. They clearly missed the 6MM that the state found to be non compliant.

ETA im not 100% sure but from the link that was posted it seems that I wasn't talking about that place very possibly may have been the brick one.

Any of the area reservoirs should fit your needs, or try any of the larger parks, Lake Shenandoah , Cattus Island.
