I live in Michigan. I was on the agenda for the October [condo association](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) meeting. With each question I asked I had all 5 board members and the [property manager](https://www.condoassociation.com/property-managers/tabid/96982/Default.aspx) yelling at me. I have been trying to see the condo books. It took 5 e-mails to the manager and her calling me up and yelling at me to see a print out of some bills paid. When I brought this up at the meeting the manager said I was lying. I said I had the e-mails with me, to which I was told by the board they didn't care. The other residents at the meeting could not believe what happened. I want to know if anyone knows if I can tape record the meetings?
