The rec department is unwilling to increase wages for their part time employees that would even equal the starting pay of “fast food” restaurants in the area. I think it is more important to maintain the excellent service at our rec centers than spending our money on unnecessary things such as replacing flowers every few months at every traffic circle and major intersection in the villages? Aesthetics are nice but our amenity fees would be better spent maintaining staff than on frequent landscaping changes.

Everything mentioned in this thread, plus a lot more, are all parts of the package. Sure, some things, services, landscaping, etc. might not be up to the standard we as individuals would like it to be, but there are 150,000 (?) of us here and I doubt there is any group of people harder to please than senior citizens.
The point has been made several times that the Morse family has built something unique and beautiful in this place called The Villages. I came here because of the whole package and have not been displeased in any way. Kudos to them and their creation.
