1. Do you live in Sumter Co. where you are an expert on the County Government? Or do you live in Lake Co.? Can you name your County Commissioners?
2. Do you even vote in the state of Florida? Or do you vote in Mass.?
3. Are you here now on one of your golfing vacations or up north and just stirring long distance?

Just curious. You certainly don't have to answer. But I would appreciate it. Thanks
Thanks for following my posts, and yes I will be happy to answer your questions. I don't stir a pot from a distance anymore than anyone else sitting at their computer, my wife and I have invested our retirement savings in a home in Sumter county. I pay all the taxes and fees that every other county resident pays. I make it my business to learn as much as I can about county government, because it effects both our investment and lifestyle. I can name every county commissioner, and hope to soon be learning the name of new commissioners. I can not vote in the state of Florida because I need to keep my primary residence in MA or my wife and I will lose our health insurance. We both have very real heath issues that are all good now, but need to keep access to our doctors up north. I only vote in MA for local elections because my vote for national elections means absolutely nothing living in the state of Massachusetts (although I will admit that I wrote in Tom Brady for the last presidential election because I could not stomach voting for either of the other two candidates). I am currently up north but will be driving down to our Villages home very shortly for a much deserved long stay at our other home. Although I used to (pre-covid) occasionally fly to Florida for a rather short golf vacation, when we go to our Villages home it is not for a Vacation, but to spend quality time at one of our two homes, spending countless hours maintaining our home so I fits in well with our neighborhood. Any other questions?
