I, for one, shudder at the thought of the residents "running" anything here in The Villages. While nothing is perfect, the founders and heirs of The Villages at least have the common good of the majority of the residents at heart; people appointed, elected or put in office by some other means to "run" things here will have their own self-serving interests in mind. I hope I'm wrong, but I forsee major problems if and when expenditures of the amenities fees and responsibilities for recreational activities is put in the hands of the residents.

Those advocating turning over the responsiility to the POA or the VHA have apparently never read their completely one-sided "the developer can't do anything right" comments; what a joke!
