My Condo HOA did This (Score 1)

I used to live in Herndon, Virginia and my condo associated negotiated a 10 year $50k deal to have a really bad midwestern ISP run the complex. The money the HOA got was used legally in that they lowered our condo fees. The members did not get to vote on it and it was a board decision only. Believe me, it was a crappy deal in that 50 down / 40 up was the standard for a long time until that ISP was bought by Cox. Even then, we had to have Cox until the deal ran out. I just do not know how these are legal.
