Power Ranch has no time for ‘feckless’ leadership
When residents like Paige Rosen offer thoughtful, forward-focused ideas to help prevent future issues and heal divisions in our community, true leaders should welcome that dialogue.
On July 18, Paige made a post in several Power Ranch Facebook groups asking (paraphrased): “What does the future of Power Ranch look like, regardless of the outcome?” Her message included concrete suggestions—ethics standards, clearer qualifications for board service, and increased homeowner involvement in decision-making.
Instead of engaging in the spirit of collaboration, HOA President Ken Starks dismissed the call for conversation as “feckless” and claimed that rational discussion isn’t possible while a recall is underway. He then shifted the focus to personal grievances—ignoring the real issues being raised by homeowners seeking accountability, structure, and transparency.
This is one of the many reasons why the recall effort exists.
Because rather than addressing conflict head-on, our current leadership avoids tough conversations, dismisses community input, and sets a defensive, divisive tone. That’s not leadership—that’s damage control.
Leaders don’t wait for calm waters to lead. They show up in the storm. They don’t call difficult conversations impossible—they lean in, listen, and work to bring people together.
Paige’s post wasn’t an attack. It was a genuine attempt to ask: What comes next? How do we ensure Power Ranch doesn’t repeat the same mistakes? The overwhelming response from residents showed just how ready this community is for constructive engagement and meaningful reform.
Leadership that dismisses, deflects, and divides has no place in Power Ranch. We deserve leaders who face challenges, set aside personal agendas, and prioritize unity.
This recall isn’t about politics—it’s about demanding leadership that works for all of us.
