To give you a straight answer: Of course you don't want to only rely on the Daily Sun. The Daily Sun, as well as the local TV and radio stations, are owned by the Developer. In addition, the VHA is little more than a front for the Developer and a farm team from which he recruits his politicians. Thus, it is really hard to get local facts from which you can “develop” your viewpoints.

In the Daily Sun, you will not find any news that reflects unfavorably upon the Developer, his local politicians, or The Villages itself. Such news is either spun or not reported at all. Therefore, in developing your viewpoints regarding local issues, I would suggest that, in addition to reading the Daily Sun, you also read the on-line newspaper and the POA Bulletin.
