Ms fox10 - If you and anyone else truly is interested in "why some of the money is going where it's going" - you have every right to attend the Tourism Council meetings and to review the grant applications from the organizations that are requesting grant money. Why don't you know that? You can even follow the work of the Council on it's page in the County website Council Members | Sumter County, FL - Official Website And the real deal of info re Tourism Councils can be found herehttp://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?mode=View%20Statutes&SubMenu=1&App_mode= Display_Statute&Search_String=125.0104&URL=0100-0199/0125/Sections/0125.0104.html You could even figure out if the Sumter County Tourism Council is operating within the State Statute if ya wanted to!

Hope that helps!
