Maybe attending this meeting is an opportunity to bring something up to the powers that be. I don't know how open these meetings are. An interesting figure in today's paper shows the county population at about 95,000. The Villages probably constitutes the majority of the population.

Taking some of the suggestions that some of you have discussed with me in person, I think we need to have a small group of people attend this meeting on Nov. 24, and perhaps I can get the GM of Havana to join us. I don't agree with picketing and getting nasty on this issue, I just think we need to make a compromise within the letter of the law and make everyone happy. There have been excellent posts on this thread with a lot of passion and good information. Now its a matter of negotiating a compromise.
I think the first thing to do, is to contact the Sheriff's office to find out what is the problem here. I would think to we should all be on the same page with the Sheriff's office so that we can come up with a solution. I will try to stop by their office this afternoon to see if I can discuss this with anyone.
I don't want to be the leader of this entire situation and will ask for volunteers to assist me. Its WAYYYYY over my peabrain, so I'll look to some others for advice and assistance.
