Thanks for the information. Based on what you have told me it is not a Barnes & Noble event nor a Villages event as it has been advertised but strictly an event for the developer. In that case shouldn't that be the way it is promoted.
Thanks

Mr. Flynn,
I didn't think I would be able to get enough info for you on a Friday afternoon, but I was able to get to John Rohan who had the information.
The events you are talking about are typically coordinated by the developer (tomorrow’s Glenn Beck event for example). Whatever District employees are needed to support the event will be billed to the developer. The Sumter County Sheriff’s office will handle traffic control, crowd control and security. If Community Watch is needed, their time will be billed to the developer. The event sponsor, in this case the developer, is responsible for setup, take down and clean-up.
Net, if there is any district expense associated with the event, it will be billed to the sponsor – in this case the developer.
Hope this answers your questions.

Thank you for the quick response. I did receive a response form the Villages that disturbs me a great deal.
Based on their response it appears that the developer is using The Villages to promote His or her agenda. I do not think this is what the villages was all about and that is probably one of the reasons that the IRS is all over them. The Tax free bonds used to construct the area that the developer is now using to promote a political agenda surely was not the designed use of tax free bonds nor the purpose of the development of CDD districts in the state of Florida.
