Look how at least three of the Sumter County Commissioners are beholding to the POA. They are slowly taking over The Villages. Before long the most powerful persons in our community will be the board of directors of the POA. This is when I put the “For Sale” sign in the yard.
I think you may be confusing the POA with the HOA.

Regarding the history page - it was a little hard to read as uploaded. No spaces between paragraphs, typos and spelling mistakes creating sentences that made no sense at all - I mean - PLEAD Bank? Seriously? They need a copy editor. I might volunteer. It isn't the first time I've looked at one of their publications and wondered "whose auto-fill picked THAT word?" (correct word is BLOOD - it's a blood bank, not a plead bank).

A better-organized timeline probably would've been more suitable, rather than the wall of text.

I made it about halfway down before I had to just close the page and do something else with my eyes. Much of the history I already knew, as I'd done tons of reading about the Villages, both official Villages documents and unofficial accountings of its history, and read their entire website prior.
