To compare the Morse family that just does not compute. They work and have been working since they were kids 35-40 years ago in Michigan.
Frankly, my admiration and respect for them is due to realizing what a slop outfit this would be if they were NOT here, and everything was opened up to nominated candidates running for office and promising the world but it's all just plain b.s.
We already have too much sausage making at the state and federal levels. We don't need more of it here!

Hi sunnyatlast:
I initially addressed your post with rebuttal as to the monarch issue but it is going to always return to a "he says she says scenario" and its again a distraction from the real issue I advanced, so I deleted it all. What is not subject to debate is our form of government which again I am not contesting and perhaps with some adjustment might well be comfortable with. However, it was stated that as this community developed, authority would be ceded to the community. It has yet to happen and one wonders since so much of this community has already been built, why those completed areas have no voting rights? To reinforce that issue ask yourself why TVLSI worked so hard to prevent the repeal of Sumter One? Who would better run The Villages is debatable, as is who really want to run it is another unknown but really all I desire is the opportunity to that debate. I don't mind being taken for granted but then I don't like being ignored.
So essentially you have the camp of people who like things just the way they are and the camp of people who wonder about the affect/effect change would make? And given TV growing pangs change is needed with some policies
I do agree with one poster that there is no relationship between the TVLSI and Janet Tutt..but that's the point of my concern. She has no substantial say in what really matters and I wanted to be able to go to her and say this is not right do we have a solution.....which I did only to be made aware that i such policy changes were out of her hands...That experience was an eye opener and in my view the concern I expressed would be consistent with maintaining quality of living. and let me be clear that I would have been accepting if the response was that is not a good idea because....
I do agree that The Villages is a nice place to live and again these are not personal knocks against TVLSI or Janet Tutt. In fact I have a very favorable opinion of Janet Tutt and understand her difficult position. I do appreciate what they have done and I am very grateful for living here. Buy why am I wrong for posing these concerns and why it it so many posters take this subject matter so personal?
I am sorry I ever responded to this thread because people just get too personal about this subject matter and hence defensive.
Personal Best Regards:
