Agreed. One has to ask if it is “The Villages” as a separate entity or city, or are we associated more with the link like Leesburg or Wildwood? The conflation is confusing. I know we just got our warning shot tax letter (for fanning the flames at the Everglades meeting), and the statement demonstrated that Wildwood got a good chunk of local tax change. Both municipalities get their cut of the pie and collect enforcement fines etc. What should their roles be if they are getting taxpayer income? The locus of services and control seems macro when getting funds, yet micro when convenient.
Eventually we should equilibrate as an Ocala Marion County setup like Lady Lake and The Villages in Sumter?
