Murmurs ripple. People flip through Marcus's binders. But that's just parking. Let's discuss Callaway Consulting LLC, registered to your address, sole proprietor you. 18 months, 47,000 paid by this HOA.
What services did you provide? Her face drains to paper gray. Management work? Coordination? Like road repairs in your special assessment?
Township has no permits, no scheduled work. Silence. Or 12,000 for snow removal consultation in 2022? A winter with zero measurable snowfall in Indianapolis? Nervous laughter breaks the tension.
You've embezzled for 3 years. Created fake violations to extort families like Mrs. Kowalski. I gesture back. Who paid 3,400 because you threatened liens while her husband died of cancer? Mrs. Kowalski dabs her eyes.
Her grandson grips her shoulder. Brunellis paid 800 for their 3-year-old's inflatable pool. Rick Haverson paid 1,200 for parking his work truck in his own driveway. My voice stays level, but steel underneath. You didn't enforce standards.
You ran a protection racket. Deandra finds her voice. Slander. I'll sue. The door opens.
Professional woman in suit scans the room. Deandra Callaway? Who are you? Process server. You've been served.
Hands over thick manila envelope. Deandra rips it open, hands shaking. Face goes green reading. You can't Marcus stands. Three lawsuits filed this morning.
Injunction blocking all fee collection and liens. Class action for eight households seeking return of fraudulent fines plus punitive damages. Forensic audit demand for 5 years of finances. The room explodes. Applause.
Standing. Deandra's supporters stare at floors. Distinguished older man stands. I move we remove Deandra Callaway from the board immediately for cause. Gregory.
Stronger now. Second. Yolanda. Third. Show of hands, Gregory says.
All in favor? 38 hands rise, four stay down. Her core looking uncertain. Motion carries. Deandra, you're removed effective immediately.
She stands frozen. Papers trembling in her grip. Mouth opens, closes, opens. Finally grabs her purse, knocks chair over with a clatter that makes people flinch. You'll regret this.
