End the waste of money on managing the gate system - from employees (salary & benefits) to maintenance (people & equipment & vehicles to drive around) to constant costs to have the system (computers & upgrades & cards).
Stop inventing ways to spend more money on something that causes accidents.
Removing the gates would be an open invitation to everyone in Lake and Sumter county to come in and use our parks and facilities. Money saved from removing the gates will not be enough to pay the lawsuits when people unfamiliar with The Villages get injured or killed…
