Yes, I hope we soon see new County commissioners more in tune with the residents. Changing the fee so business pays a more fair share is a start. I still feel with all the continued building The Villages FD will need to grow to meet that growth and thus that means the fire fee will need to go up as well. Safety of firefighters and residents are at stake.
