Default Re: Interesting take on The Villages

I found this Hugh Bartling article by accident when looking for stuff on One Sumter. I do not really have a dog in this fight though as I do not own property in TV.

As many know I live with my parents who do own property in TV. We moved from Palm Harbor in 2005 and I am extremely happy here in TV when compared with how things went for me in Palm Harbor. At least, the Chairman of the Board of the Chamber of Commerce has not threatened me with a lawsuit yet through his lawyer. It was really the Palm Harbor Library lawyer who did this on March 2, 2004 but since at that time the Palm Harbor Library Director Gene Coppola was the Chairman of the PH Chamber of Commerce there seemed to be quite a lot of conflict of interest and lack of any real accountability there in PH.

I do kind of get a little nervous when too much power is in the hands of people who also have a lot of control of the media.

TOTV is a great leveller though with respect to getting information out about issues of interest to Villagers.

Happy to see people taking an interest in that professor's article. I will bet that more people have probably read that article in the past few days than ever read it since it publication in November 2006?
