And it seemed like about 15% of the Golf Carts had their accelerator control jacked up to 30 plus MPH. Today almost 100% of the lawn manglers go 40 MPH through the posted 20 MPH SUPPOSEDLY quiet residential streets. Personally, I cut my own grass both for exercise and by reducing the number of LAWN MANGLERS, I may be saving someones life in an accident. So, this is one REASON why I would appreciate MORE Police presence in our neighborhoods.
.....Speeding is rampant in The Villages, which is strange because retired people SHOULD have plenty of time during the day to allow them to get to a destination WITHOUT speeding.
.......The Villages is NOT without crime and needs some more police. No one is suggesting we have a "police state" because that implies an OUT OF CONTROL police force. More Police are needed and I am sure there are enough retired LAWYERS in The Villages to prevent ANY police overreach.

Why don't you write the developer and ask him to petition for a dedicated LEO presence...and when he gets the bill from the county....and buries into everybody else's 'fees'....you can say, take that LAWN MANGLERS!
