LEGISLATURE, AND CC TO SUN CITY, AZ "LIAR GRAY LEADS REPUBLICANS TO RUIN THE PLANNED COMMUNITIES ACT" by Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson for The Sun City Formula
Registry and Publisher of annereport.com
Subject: This opinion piece exposes the lies perpetuated by Republican Rick Gray and RCSC
General Manager Jan Ek in order to get RCSC pulled out of the planned communities act. They want CLOSED MEETINGS
AND CLOSED RECORDS! They want to discredit a respected Superior Court Judge's ruling that RCSC is under
the Act since 1994. They are trying to escape facing the consequences of disobeying the Act since its inception.
DO NOT BE DUPED! VOTE NO ON SB1094!

"RCSC---Misinformation
being sent to residents" by
Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson for The Sun City Formula Registry and Publisher of annereport.com
Subject: This opinion piece exposes Jan Ek's corporate email blast
as misinformaiton to get support for House Bill 2374. Ek claims if the bill RCSC wrote doesn't pass RCSC will lose the
55+ age overlay. A LIE! Truth is if it passes RCSC will not be under the Planned Communities Act even though a
Judge said they were. They do not want to comply and they want to stop our lawsuit that compels compliance. DO
NOT BE DUPED! VOTE NO ON HB2374!

"Save the Sundial Monument" Speech
2/17/11: "Sundial Monument rust a ruse" by Anne Randall Stewart, Spokesperson for The Sun City Formula Registry
Subject: Without discussion in an open meeting,
the RCSC board had a press release that because of rust on the Sundial Monument it will be removed, citing an engineering
report that it is "unsafe". We found that to not be the case; the steel frame is not any rustier than the
new steel found at a construction site. The steel is still good. The Sundial Monument is a historic landmark and
namesake for the Sundial Rec Center. It is an icon and necessary for the branding of Sun City. The Del Webb history
is important to perpetuate "Our Retirement Dream Come True". After this letter was circulated, and others
generated from member outrage, the board released a second notice that backed off saying they don't have enough information
to tear it down and is requesting "input". We don't trust them. Leave the Sundial Monument where it
is and take care of it. And start having open meetings so we don't upset the membership. PUBLISHED THE DAILY NEWS-SUN,

THE
SUN CITIES INDEPENDENT, Letters, Page 4A, April 8, 2009
Subject: RCSC board wants gutters on Willowcreek costing $435,000. Stewart wants Pacific
Aquascape to be able to bid on the project to keep Willowcreek Del Webb quality. She fears they will be shut out by
specs calling for a gutter which they don't do. If they are, Stewart calls for recall of board members and dismissal
of employees in support of it. UPDATE: Pacific Aquascape was shut out of bidding. On Monday, at the 4/6/09 board meeting,
Tom Beckwith delivered a PA bid for $203,000 or $308,000 depending on the length, which was immediately rejected. So, Willowcreek will get a gutter instead of a water feature and it
will be done by Alliance, a first-time contractor, with no identifiers on their trucks at the construction site.
