Wrong!

Furthermore, this is not a political discussion. If you want to discuss politics and how tax dollars are spent, there is a forum for that. This is about business. The amenity fee is not a tax, it’s a fee that is mandated by a contract between the developer and every villager.

And the amenities identified in that contract are supposed to be managed according to that contract. This is a discussion about whether or not the developer should be allowed to add a service to an amenity and charge separately for it and pocket the profits instead of having that service funded by the amenity and being paid for by the service fees collected from the golfers that prefer to use that value added service.
