Have you ever written a positive column on the developer or The Villages?

For example, have you ever written about the positive and negative aspects connected to the development of The Villages? ie; the impact on the economy, jobs, increased tax revenues, medical facilities, schools, etc. in Sumter, Marion and Lake Counties.

Have you contrasted the area before the development and after? Are county residents better off now or before Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Morse created The Villages?

Have you ever toured the charter school campus built by the developer that educates non-Village residents? What a story there.

If not, wouldn't it give balance to what appears to be to many, a negative campaign against the developer and the Villages

There is certainly room for objective, conflicting and interesting perspectives on the above subject matter.

I am not connected in anyway with the developer and on occasion have been critical of some decision making. It has not diminished our happiness with living the dream in TV.

You might be asking to much there !!! Not many people would step away from the negative news making info to let people know what good comes from The Villages. That School is really good. That is thanks to fine people of The Villages and the developers. You will only get the dirty smack. Just look at the news on at 5 from any channel. It is all bad for about the first 17 minutes, then the weather comes on. The back to negative or about the Magic and how the players live in 7 million dollar mansions.

Not to often a "reporter" will focus on the great stuff. Dirt is what attracts the big money.....
