I'm sure there are plenty of folks in The Villages who have experience with Voter Initiatives.
Curbing STR's & generating tax revenue from the ones that remain, seems like it would be a fairly easy sell to John Q. Public.
The difficulty is getting those experienced and fair minded individuals to be bullet proof once they get into the swamp ! That's the problem, many a fine, fair minded, sincere individual has gone to Tallahassee, or D.C. to selflessly "serve" his or her country... and stayed for 40, 50 years and became a multi millionaire.... and when the voters get fed up, finally elect another, same thing happens once the lure of the $$$ and the "high" of the high life is introduced.
