The assumption here seems to be that the Morse family and/or their business interests control what the Commissioners do rather than say. Is there any hard evidence for this assumption?

It is the voters who vote for the Commissioners and other media than the Villages Daily Sun would be rather quick to point out political corruption and sway the voters to get out bad Commissioners?

I do not see Villagers being sheep led to slaughter if the media is keeping tabs on the honesty of Sumter County Commissioners??

From how many people are on the waiting lists at local libraries for Leisureville, I do not see Villagers as people who are not able to think and vote for themselves? The book Leisureville for anyone unfamiliar with it is about retirement communities in the US and is heavily critical of the political apathy the author--Andrew Blechman-- apparently finds in TV.

Some of the debates here on TOTV on politics are anything but apathetic.
