I hope that assessment is correct. I wonder if Sumter county will pick up on the fact that they can add additional fees for things and Villagers won't mind. Such as: golf cart fees, library charges every time you use it, parking meters, seems that if extra charges are okay with Villagers they won't mind kicking into the county coffers. All the surrounding coffers I should say..
Marion, Lake and Wildwood, there's a whole bunch of change out there ready to be collected.
