Anyway, this whole issue SHOULD have been decided with the election of the EMS team. Your argument lost by a 2 to 1 vote. What is going on now is a carefully orchestrated attempt by the Developer to undo the election.
You got yours but the rest of us get nothing? We're talking about new and different businesses coming here. Why would they if the cost to build is onerous? You got on your high horse about this and it's getting old.

Imagine if there were NO impact fee law in FL. Guess where the money for all the needs of the County would come from. YOU, by way of higher taxes. That's how it's done in most States. Please stop with the conspiracy theories. The Villages is the best thing that ever happened to Sumter County.
