I have seen not one drop of evidence that The Developer is acting in any way but conducting a successful business that not only is run well and ethical but supports the economy of the entire three counties it is part of. It is a huge part of Sumter County which was at one time a place with low employment and low income. A rising tide lifts all ships.
I hope someday that I can shake the hand of Jennifer, Mark or Tracy Morse. I would like very much to meet any of them.
They have a half brother who lives in my Village and we have met him once briefly at a party. He is not involved in the business but was once involved in the golf courses I believe.
I wish there was a group that was independent and helpful. I do not like the POA. I think there are other things going on and I don't like to think about them. I hope all the political action folks calm down soon and see that if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Perhaps it's good to have the ying and the yang. Have memories forgot when the POA came to the rescue at the tune of 40 million dollars. Residents familiar with Paradise Rec Center, Paradise Park, and the narrow concrete bumpy MMP paths remember. Let me refresh some memories - the Developer did not volunteer the $40 million the POA had to sue and won the lawsuit. I personally think the developer does a good job but that doesn't mean 100% of the time they act in our best interest. Fast forward to more recent times. Who is stepping up to pay for the Sumter bridge infrastructure damage ? Like many of you say The Developers are in the business to make a profit. Sometimes their interests and ours won't always coincide.
