When you have your own guys on the Commission, there is no need to bluff.
I think you misunderstand what happened. County Commissions are of crucial importance to any developer doing business in any county, and The Villages Developer has taken control of the Sumter County one--to his benefit and the detriment of Sumter County taxpayers.
