What the voters of Sumter County wanted was to shift more of the developer’s road costs back to the developer by increasing road impact fees. The 50 million dollars we had to cover in our tax increase of 25% is why the residents revolted and ousted every single incumbent. The rest of the incumbents will be ousted when they come up for reelection including our local representative to the state legislature. We, the residents of Sumter County, refuse to pay for the costs of development. These costs, like in all fast growing counties in Florida, need to be paid for by the developers not the residents. That also means that as developers build non age restricted buildings they need to pay school, fire and other impact fees in addition to road impact fees. We don’t want higher taxes that is why we rose up and changed things. Welcome to the power of the American people when they band together and determine their own future.
