Default Here's The Link To The Summary That Caveman Referrerd To

Here's a link to an excelent summary of the constitutional amendments we'll all be voting on...

On the CDD 7 Municipality vote, I now remember when we faced the same vote in CDD 6. I think it is also correct that the state law requires the developer who uses the CDD form of government to hold an election to determine whether the residents want to become a more traditional form of government incorporation (village, town, city, etc.).

I'm not totally certain, but I think the idea of incorporation has been defeated in all six districts where the election has been held so far.

I can recall when we had to vote on the question in CDD 6 that I asked myself the question whether a bunch of retirees who wanted to run for a new town government could do a better job of running The Villages than the developer is doing. It was an easy vote once I answered that question for myself.
