Sumter county is governed by Sumter One. Sumter One lives to serve the Developer. Sumter One repeal was on the ballot in 2010. the developer kicked into high gear and derailed the initiative.
When the population growth finally settles it will require massive changes in infrastructure, maintenance etc and with that will come ever increasing taxes.
So enjoy the ride now but as the guy on television said "you can pay me now or you can pay me later."
This is not a complaint its an observational fact

It also means that people who do not live in The Villages, but live in Sumter County, have no say in what goes on in Sumter County .
We live in a "bubble" and all we see is what we are allowed to see. So if there is a need outside our bubble, it will not get addressed because.... well.... we live in a bubble and One Sumter.
But some people are content to put their heads in the sand, and who cares about anyone else in the county...
Right????
