where are all the condo fees going?



I live in a smallish complex with no amenities (no pool, tennis
courts, playgrounds, nothing).  There are about 125 units, and the fee
is 159.14 per month.  I have lived here just over three years, and in
that time I have never received an accounting of where the fees are
going.  Prior to purchasing this unit, I know that they raised the
fees to put new roofs on all the condos, but that project is long
since finished, and other than some landscaping (which I received an
assessment for), there haven't been any improvements to the complex. 
The manager only takes care of problems if you call him repeatedly, I
noticed he is advertising his own personal business in the stationary
used for our association mailings, he has made himself a sub
contractor to take junk off the premisis (which I think is a conflict
of interest, no checks and balances there).  Overall, I just think
this guy is lazy.  I am thinking of running for the board for this
upcoming year, the only problem is that I will most likely have to
challenge someone on the board, and there are a lot of people who own
these condo's and rent them out, it is about 60% renters in residence.
 So basically a lot of the owners are apathetic to the issues around
here because they don't live with them day to day, and they don't show
up to vote.  I was thinking I could probably get the owners in
residence to vote for me, I would knock on their doors myself, but do
I have a right to know where they live and who they are?  So any
advice at this time would be appreciated.  I know a lot of people
around here are unhappy, but no one seems to want to take the time to
do anything about it.
