Angry Huge Attendance

Last night there was a huge attendance regarding the new water arrangements to sell water at the risk of causing more sink holes, etc. The attendance was so large that they shut down attending the meeting and left about 200 standing in the lobby and not able to attend as the room was full. One question many asked was whether or not this was planned to limit the number complaining and to do that they set it up in a room and rec center that could not handle the crowd. There were plenty of rooms in The Villages that could have handled the crowd but they chose Colony Cottage and just one room while other rooms in the Rec Center had as few as 25 people while about 200 were trying to attend. In Laurel Manor they had 2 connected rooms that could have handled a crowd that large, etc. What a shame they felt the need to lock out some Village Residents, etc.
