After trying to be informed and objective on the IRS/Bond issue, the most recent volley from Ms. Ritchie convinces me she is mean spirited and biased negatively toward anything related to the Villages. Further, I believe she attempting to stoke the flames of discontent to hurt Villagers and the success of the Morse family.
Lauren Ritchie said, "
And it is time for homeowners to worry less about their tee time and marvelous activities and more about their future property values and financial liability." How cavalierly arrogant is that?

I have witnessed first hand the envy of certain "locals" , wannabes, and an eclectic assortment of non-Villagers. Motivated by jealousy and insecurity, they are out to deliberately bring the glowing success of TV down to their own level of boring, mediocre existence. Ritchie's comment certainly is designed to distress and hurt Villagers not help them. She is unabashedly and shamelessly fanning the embers of her "big story" at the expense of causing distress to many Village residents.
There has been a dearth of balance and an irritating abundance of bias in her assessment as she herself has acknowledged. Now if she would only take on something important like improving our tee times........ Call me crazy but at this stage of my life, I prefer fat, dumb and happy to tilting with other people's windmills...but, that's just me. I do respect the concerns of my fellow Villagers who wish to be more engaged.
Be of good cheer Villagers, Lauren's calculated Henny-Penny rants are like ships that pass in the night.......and this to shall pass.
P.S. - did anyone else get the impression a certain recent poster in this thread is a planted shill for Lauren and/or the Sentinel?
GO MUNCLE!!!!! Great post Steve!!!!
