Feds, D.A. rebuffed HOA members

The woman who brought her suspicions about collusion on her homeowners association board to the attention of the FBI says she didn't get far. Wanda Murray tells Jon on tonight's program that the feds deemed the issue a civil matter and had no interest. Ditto for the District Attorney, where Murray says she and her neighbors failed to get past the secretary.

So what got law enforcement to take notice? Tune in tonight to hear State Sen. Mike Schneider's (D-Clark) contention that the alleged activity extends beyond Nevada.

It's been reported that political consultant Steve Wark owned a less than 1 percent interest in a unit at one of the condo developments under scrutiny.

The implication is that Wark purchased the interest in order to qualify for a spot on the board. Under Nevada law, he need not go to the trouble. The law says while the majority of board members must own property within the development, the remainder need not. Schneider says the intent was to allow renters to have a say in association matters, but the law includes no residency requirements.
