How about we dial the calendar back about 20 or so years when TV population was 20,000 or less.

That timing would be before CR 466 was a 4 lane road....before Lake Sumter landing, Arnold Palmer CC, the Target and Kohls shopping centers, Home Depot and on and on and on.

Somehow as TV continued to grow significantly since then where did the thousands and thousands of new workers all come from? (Rhetorical question).

The above holds true for every sub metropolitan area that has grown and flourished during the current century!

And yes, those who work at serving by working at all these places have always earned less than the next economic group above them.

It seems in recent years with the advent of special interest groups getting undue attention that the issue of living wage and concern for the "poor" attempts to get to center stage.

I see politics as the main driver of the current 'Quest"!

In my humble opinion.
