It was a relatively short meeting for the Easton Town Council on Monday night. The one highlight was the apparently growing concern among those living near the Easton Club that the grounds are not being maintained by the current owner. During public comment, a resident outlined his concerns for the Council and the frustration that he and other residents feel that significant negligence is taking place.

Wow, we left our rental at the Easton Club one year ago last month to move way north (which has been a good move.) Easton Club had just been sold and there were high hopes of the new owner. This location is SO wonderful and central that we knew Easton Club would land on its feet. Little did we know that the horrible corruption we had skirted during our 12 years of property ownership in Talbot County could raise its ugly head with this stable and wonderful community. To us, the Town of Easton seems to have had their heads turned by some fabulous “Bill of Goods”, such as the “Movie Theater and Town Center that would sit at the intersection next to TalbotTown “. It seemed to us a “Bill of Goods” then, as it this another one now.
This situation is untenable for Easton Club property owners who have sunk their retirement and vacation funds into these homes. How on earth can they fight City Hall? In St. Michaels, an active HOA successfully delayed aggressive development and saved beautiful wetlands with 1) a homeowner group investment in legal consultations and delays and 2) a fabulously generous donor at the end. Easton Club, open your checkbooks! Go get them with the only language they understand in local governments, CASH. Your Town councilmen seem to be, after all, Chamber of Commerce Fellows, they understand money and legal delays. Play their game, BIG. Meanwhile, our hearts are with you and all your compadres in other desirable locations around the county. Good luck, all. Thank you, Talbot Spy, for keeping us in touch with our wonderful Shore. We might come back someday, but not likely now.

It is my understanding that the town and/or county can mow this property and out a tax lien against the owner. Is this so? I feel very sorry for the residents who have their life savings invested in this development.
