Default Happy in Marion County

You should give reasons for your comment. We've been here in Marion since 2003 and are very happy. The county commissioners aren't controlled by the developer as in Sumter. We also don't have the ever present speed traps & harassment by the Sheriff's offices as in other parts of TV. Our roads are better maintained since their upkeep is included in our taxes to district 4. Yes, there's a sinkhole problem (now being addressed), but sinkholes are present in all of the Villages and the ones in the pond at Alhambra (district 3- Sumter) are an eyesore.
If I was buying a home, it would be in Marion.
