As I am reading this I keep hearing that the people and areas who will benefit from this tax increase are predominantly in the new areas. Elsewhere such expenses are rolled into the cost of new houses not as a tax increase to the current residents. Somehow, because TV is expanding, everyone is responsible for the new costs (which they have not approved) whether they benefit or not. Here is where the voters need to take a stand.
Who benefits from TV expanding?
The roads need to be redone for the concrete trucks, who needs the concrete trucks in the first place?
On behalf of those who could not be there but are reading TOTV, thank you for this report.
Also, since many of the Snowbirds (a large percentage of the owners affected) for example, are not there for these discussions, has a referendum been considered?
In a democracy, my understanding is the representatives are suppose to represent the will of the people. Is it time to find out what those who live in Sumter county want?
