Some Observatioins:
How many use "tax" in some form to get elected while ignoring
fundemental reserve planning. Of course everyone believe in lower taxes so what better way than to use that as a basis for election. What is truly shocking is that with these 5 individuals a "Reserve Funding" was not applied to the Village planning and thus it is accountability time.

FYI, Al Butler, who is supposed to be representing residents of District 1, is hook line and sinker supporting the tax increase. I reached out to him with my concernes regarding the huge proposed tax increase as a resident of District 1. He returned my correspondence with a cookie cutter, cut and pasted, bla bla bla response, that was in full support of the increase. I sent him back a long and well thought out response, which was totally disregarded. Please, anyone who votes for Sumter County's commissioners, vote for a different candidate!
