It all depends on what a person WANTS from a county.

GG in all due respect the Morses and their sycophants benefited most and like all corporations the cost of doing business was transferred to customers (homeowners).
The IRS bond issue revealed clearly that the Developer made extraordinary profits by selling back to District facilities and amenity fee income based on the
Developer's appraisers, accountants, etc. and the Developer made it clear what % of profit would be had from each home unit they built and if my sources are correct it was enormous
In a manner of speaking residents ought to pat themselves on the back for what The Villages is today
But my original post was not about the Developer it was about responsible government. They keep building and yet claim that we need to conserve on water, etc.
Yet we have no voice short of TOTV and the other local internet publication to express our concern.
Eventually the highway systems here will need to be expanded and beside cost the inconvenience is going to be enormous. some of us didn't want to live along Highway 19. Once the population stops growing then taxes income will level off but expenses increase and with this means tax increases
People are already living a top one another and yet they continue to build. I can't imagine anyway saying "oh how great" the store, restaurant golf courses is overcrowded.
Osceola at least had the decency to pause and consider how this was affecting county residents.
you speak of what the county wants....checkout the arrangement between the Sumter County School District and the Charter Schools and you will get an answer as to what county wants
