When I moved here eight years ago, no one within the tri-county area was allowed guest passes. Some where between that time and the present, these rules were eased and without public knowledge they allowed tri-county residents with ties to the Villages to have guest privileges. Then they expanded it to 365 days a year.
Maybe if we had known we could have sued because a substantial level of service had been expanded above what we had been told we would get. We could have sued and prevented this whole fiasco.
I also read that the relatives living in the villages do not have to accompany the in-county relatives on the executive golf courses. The executive golf courses are one of our more precious commodities. I suggest that we enforce the rule that the relatives living in the Villages must accompany the in-county relatives on the executive golf courses. Maybe they will eventually get tired of it and not invite them so many times.
The Villages is a 55 and over retirement community and not a resort area. We have to put up with rentals and that certain percentage of under people of 55 that can buy because of the loophole we did not know about when we bought here.
We should be able to draw the line at those that moved to the tri-county area to take advantage of the in-county relative loophole.
I really they do not give up the fight.

The paper that had that article left on that big white truck! I recall there were some percentages listed as to the number of passes and who they were isssued to. If you still have the article......could you share those numbers?
