Again, I am sorry they did not publish your story and sad that you are allowing this in your eys to be the benchmark as to whether the POA is positive force for the residents of The Villages.

This is wonderful, but compare the recent bulletin to any other over at least the last 3 years. There has been a significant change in the tone of the POA in the last month or two. This was first noticeable when Joe G defended TV in the Ritchie tax tirade. At about the same time it seemed that the POA had tempered their crusade against the hospital. I expected to see Joe Gorman and Roger Kass having dinner together.
The POA has its purpose and could be a real service to TV, but it has a lot of negativity to live down. It could do wonders working with rather than against the VHA, the developer, and CDD management. We can only hope.
And by the bye, can't swear to this, but I seem to remember that Joe Gorman was one of 5 people sharing in $300,000 as a result of the lawsuit. The other 4 were also former officers and/or active members of the POA.
