I could extrapolate more but to what avail?

On the issue of lawsuits, neither side is supposed to speak of it, sort of a gag order as I understand it. I just wonder why the POA individuals didn't give their own lawsuit winnings above the cost of the suit to the POA but rather kept them for themselves and it was a LOT of money. The lawsuit brought by the POA last year was lost and the very large court costs are paid for by who????
I remember reading the POA bulletin for years when to me it was very poorly written and showed a transparent dislike of the Morse organization. I would have supported another organization that did not appear to "have it in" for the developer. I still wish another would form because I think there are still people who used to run the POA in the background somewhat directing things. I think the new officers appear to be better writers and more business like. I still would like a new group entirely.
There are many who do not like the Morse family because they are jealous of their wealth and because of their political leanings and that colors their attitude toward an organization that in my opinion does a very good job running an increasingly larger and more complex community. I do not mind their wealth or their political leanings which of course colors my opinion. That said, a separate organization to see that things are run correctly and fairly and to be a watchdog for all happenings would be a good thing. A separate organization not supported in any way by outside businesses in competition with The Villages would suit me.
Florida is now the third most populous state in the U.S. and with approximately 50,000 baby boomers retiring every day for the next eighteen years it will continue to attract more and more people. There will be many retirees coming to this area and I would rather they live here rather than have a lot of growth all around us by developers with not as much money, skill, and acumen and the greater possibility of failure.
