## What do you think? Question:

Our condo association is trying to change common grounds bylaws. Over 100 of 152 units votes yes. 15 units voted no. Because of how laws are written we need 3/4 or 114 votes to past, of the 39 proxies not returned 7 are in foreclosure or have property lien attached these non-returned proxies will be counted as 'no votes,' we are told. For over 30 years this has been the rules, we are told. Is this true?
