If not, maybe I'll erect a gate on Florida's Turnpike to allow that lady to cross in her golf cart . I suppose if I was a working resident of Sumter County that used Morse north of 466 to get to work, I could have a legitimate complaint of being held up by a gate on county property that I pay taxes to support.
Not public roads in Marion county, district pays for road work except on BV. Why my maintenance fees are always higher along with other stuff.
