There have been plenty of discussions in other threads about the false premise these 3 are operating from. Fiduciary Responsibility is a legal term. It requires those in power to be mindful and to work in the best interests of the taxpayers. There are more taxpayers in Sumter County not in TV than in TV. Yet all these 3 seem to care about is the heck with anybody but us in TV. Total negligence.
The Commissioners were going about their day and suddenly out of the blue decided to change things? Are you honestly contending that nothing happened to affect their decision? Are you accusing them of improperly bringing a motion back for consideration?

"more taxpayers in Sumter County non in TV than in TV"? I seriously doubt that.

EDIT: It looks like it is close. Sumter County = 132,000. The Villages = 80,000. Approximately 15% outside Sumter County -> 68,000 in Sumter County. So pretty close to 50/50 split.

"the heck with anybody but us in TV" Yeah, I really hate it when people care about my needs, really ticks me off!
