Default I say no to a 10% sales tax
Those who live in Lake County already pay higher property taxes than Sumter and Marion Counties. Most of the businesses in The Villages are in Sumter and Marion Counties; therefore, those who live in Lake County will get a double whammy if the sales tax is raised to 10% instead of increased property taxes for Sumter County alone. Lake County residents will be paying their already higher property taxes as well as supplementing those who live in Sumter County. Raising the sales tax is not a good idea in my opinion especially for those on fixed incomes.
