Overview

  • David Martin’s Candy Man Kicks business is selling “Free. Cold. Water.” T-shirts to cover legal fees in his fight against the Canyon Trails HOA.
  • Neighbors and online supporters have donated over 150 cases of bottled water, reflecting growing community support for his cause.
  • On July 10, 190 of 210 ballots backed removing three board members, but those members claim the vote failed to meet petition, notice and quorum rules.

  • Martin plans to seek judicial review of both the special vote’s validity and the HOA’s enforcement of exterior display regulations.
