On the other hand, it could be that many of the companies being contracted with are Developer-owned or associated. In that case, if he took his toys and goes home, the CDDs may be left scrambling to fill the gaps.
If you take the time to review the annual audits of the various CDDs that are performed by an independent auditor you'll see that very little is contracted with developer owned companies, the two biggest are TSG for IT support and The Villages Media Group for advertising.

Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero
Society is produced by our wants, and government by wickedness; the former promotes our happiness positively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. - Thomas Paine, 1/10/1776
