[QUOTE=jflynn1;234694... 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.[/QUOTE]

I agree with you 100%. He is one of the biggest contributors to the Florida Republican party, the Daily Sun is another vehicle he uses to push the Republican agenda. Obviously if you're a Republican, it is of no consequence, but a number of more liberal people are moving to TV, and they find the republican bias of the developer to be a drawback to say the least. And I can't believe it will sit well with the IRS, which could have consequences for the general population of TV in the future. Pushing a political agenda is definitely not what The Villages is supposed to be all about.
