I feel the concern here is, Sumter County increased property taxes because they saw needs of their municipalities that were not being met financially. So they had the homeowners foot the bill. THEN they decided that developers (of which the Morse Family is the largest in the county) should get a break on impact fees.
It should have gone the other way around. Developers should be brought up to current impact fee trends and be charged impact fees that better reflect the region. Property taxes might also need increasing but not nearly at the new rate.
