Exclamation Critics are easy to find.

It is clear some do not know the facts and have some anger at the POA. 1. As I understand it the POA took the risk of 2 lawsuits to protect the property owners and in both cases they prevailed and the court ruled in the POA favor and the property owners benifited. 2. There were 3 or 4 on the POA that actually risked their own money to fight the suits as if they lost they potentially would have big legal fees to personally pay. It was so unfair to accuse them of profiting. Who else in the community put their personal dollars at risk for the residents for the little personal funds they received in return. End result was $40M+ awared for the Residents which did exist before the suit. 3. What other agency is hiring an attorney for the sole purpoase of protecting the property owners? It may be worthwhile for those that are critical to attend the monthly member meetings of the POA to understand what is really going on. As I understand it the POA was established in 1975 and is the oldest organization working only for the property owners. Please remember that in both lawsuits the POA prevailed. In the first the original contracts made was restored after they were to be cancelled and those property owners continue to benifit from that suit and in the second $40M+ was brought back to the Villages for improvements. Sounds pretty good to me..!!! I guess it is fair to ask what would some of you do to protect the property owners. Critics are easy to find they are everywhere as its easy to be critical.. It is more difficult to find creative people who are willing to work and stick their necks out.
