A question and an observation:

Why do you refer to Villages cart drivers as "entitled"?

And, the population 2023 Sumter Co census bureau estimate is 140,500 and that of the villages (all three counties) is 135,000, with the majority in Sumter Co. Why would you assume a ballot referendum would have a "fat chance"?
