A couple of my comments after viewing this video.

On gate cards.

Peter Russell likes the old system of rolling down his window. However, Carrie Duckett says that the district has heard the people speak and will try to have extended card readers in the future where there is no need to row down the window.
While Kenny says cloned gate cards will not work, if a card is cloned from a still valid card it will work. My cloned gate cards are working fine.

The importance of the VHA

Peter Russell states that the VHA has to be the mechanism for providing to the community development districts what enhancements they are looking for. I can send an email to Kenny to get thing resolved. Which shows how important the VHA is to this entire structure.

His thoughts are to just bypass elected officials that are working hard to provide the best possible services to Villagers. I totally disagree with his thoughts on the VHA's place in the structure of the governance of the Villages.

I almost feel like burning my lifetime VHA card as I don't want to have them count me as agreeing with their current thinking.

Maybe as a Vietnam veteran I do have PTSD but I don't think so.
No....your points are very valid.
Many like to make comments and suggestions of secession, incorporation and municipal like governance (ie; Mayor, City Council etc). So if that’s the way one leans, there are too many layers in this current system IMO. I have no issue with a board, association or commission ....but only in an advisory role. There are many that come from different areas of the country and world for that matter....I’m sure, are still trying to figure out the current structure here. But enough with attempting to dovetail yet another entity into what’s already in place.
