Now that the election is over, it is interesting to note that a majority of residents have apparently awoken to the fact that the Villages Homeowners Advocates is really the Villages Developer's Advocates. The voters followed the recommendation of the POA, not the recommendation of the VHA (and of the Developer's appointed officials and his newspaper) and voted down the fire district.

Now, as the POA and the other opponents of the fire district predicted: The world has not ended. Excellent fire, EMS, and ambulance services continue to be provided, and they will continue to be provided.
