The ADA rules are quite clear. The Villages operated a learning college and they did so understanding their demographic. I would agree that accommodating the disabled can be problematic. Been there done that. But it is the law.
People gripe about the amount the plaintiff's and attorneys made on this case.
Those of us here then recall the amounts of awards for the plaintiffs and their attorney in the POA's suit against the Developer stemming from the amenities dispute. The amenities suit was filed and settled within 15 months. Not bad change for 15 months work at all
So let me ask what are the differences between the plaintiffs and lawyers in the learning college suit to that of the plaintiffs in the POA amenities suit?
And as to the Developer a reminder "Pride cometh before a fall"
As to funding for this lawsuit The Villages needs to be transparent. The IRS dispute caused/created by the actions of the Developer was paid for by amenity funds
I'll make an educated guess and say we footed the bill again.
As a side bar I had asked those powers to be suggesting early on that the liability carrier ( E&O) be contacted to see if they would provide coverage for the IRS dispute because it was an error created by officers/officials of The Villages.
