## What do you think? Question:

This question is submitted by Rick B. out of Iowa

 

I live in an HOA in Iowa. We aren’t allowed to go to board meetings. We aren’t allowed to see board meeting minutes. The board does not allow voting so the board stays the same. We are not allowed to see any financials. Is this legal?

 

 

Thoughts?
