good points. However three very poor towns have now become flushed with money from tax revenues generated within the boundaries of the Villages. TV does not need the same Police protection per home as most of the rest of the county. Population of 125,000+/- and very small school costs. I'm willing to listen to the arguments but there is so much misunderstanding and wrong info on this thread
