I think if more people took the time to attend The Villages Resident Academy we would not be having this discussion. I did attend and Janet Tutt gave a wonderful two hour talk to kick it off explaining exactly how The Villages operates. One of the very first things she said was she and VCDD have absolutely nothing to do with the developer, they work for us. She's head of the department that maintains the infrastructure of The Villages and looking around I'd say they do a dam good job.
She thanked us all for attending the academy because once we understood exactly how everything worked we'd be less likely to spread rumors and innuendo. Yes that is a sore spot with her because her staff has to spend valuable time responding to them.
Do yourself a favor and sign up you won't regret it. BTW that smell from the water when you irrigate your lawn is not from the sewerage treatment plant. One of the many things you'll learn from attending the Academy.
