I say this because I feel you need to give the Villages Entertainment a chance to act once a coherent presentation is made (instead of a few phone calls). Call me naive but I would try this approach first. And, no, I am not volunteering to do this.
That is a very wise and measured approach to solving the problem and I thank you sincerely for the suggestion, however, this is not a new issue. It's been going on for years and I'm sure that The Villages Entertainment group is fully aware of the problem. I'm told they actually have a policy that prohibits "roping" and all its other iterations, but they do nothing to enforce it. Maybe this petition is really more for the various sheriff's departments as they would also be involved in enforcement, but I'm sure they will not get involved unless specifically requested to do so by The Villages Entertainment.
