A few facts on the Supervisors and other elected officials here in The Villages and running this little asylum.
In Districts 1-9 all 5 supervisors on each board are residents of their respective districts and resident elected.
In District 10 all 5 supervisors are residents of CDD10, 4 are resident elected and 1 is land owner elected. This changes to 5 resident elected on 6 November.
District 12 has 5 land owner elected supervisors, 2 of these will be residents & resident elected on 6 November.
District 11 has 5 land owner elected supervisors and will not have resident elected supervisors until the district has been in existence for 6 years, the other criteria of 250 registered voters has been met.
NSCUDD has 7 resident elected officials all of whom are residents of their respective districts plus one "at large" supervisor.
The PWAC is composed of resident elected supervisors from each of the district 5 through 11 CDD boards and are responsible for both the project wide maintenance and operations as well as the amenities.
The 3 commercial CDDs and the AAC are land owner elected.

So as you can see almost all of the people running this asylum are the inmates.

A more disturbing fact, 34 of 62 of these elected officials are up for reelection on 6 November, of these 34, 25 are running unopposed, only 9 seats are running in competitive races. A very sad level of community involvement for a community with so much talent and people with time on their hands. Is this because these supervisors are doing such a great job? Reading the posts from this and on the "other" website, that does not appear the case. Could it be that the posters have more digital courage than real courage to standup and do something for their community beyond just complaining? The latter is the more likely explanation.

I am one of these inmates that is running this asylum.

And on Nov 6 you will be supported by those of us that appreciate your service.
