Just what I would expect. A person with working knowlege interjects inside information on this controversial issue and the first club out of the bag is a suggestion that the informant has an ulterior motive i.e. disgruntled employee, whiner, etc. Many have been undertaking this attitude with Lauren Richie since she first brought this subject to light and labeled others who have concerns in the same way. As I too am concerned (not to be misinterpreted as "panicked"). There isn't anyone who has convinced me that The CDD is guaranteed immunity when the dust finally settles nor has anyone convinced me they will take a huge fall. Despite all the statue-quoting posters, if the CDD takes a big hit financially, don't for a minute think that they will not try to recoup some of it from us in some way. Sharp attorneys know how to circumvent statues just as states adjust fees to increase revenue.
We, too, love life in The Villages but it didn't take long to see that it is run on a "good ole boy" system and that the late Mr. Schwartz has turned over in his grave over and over. The Morse family is deeply connected with state and national politicians controls all The Villages media which is why you don't see ANY potentially negative news in the Daily Sun or hear it on WVLG. District commissions are hand-picked and residents are hand fed information. Don't fool yourself by thinking that the Morse family doesn't hold influence over Janet Tutt and the rest of the CDD. If your only argument is labeling columnists "whiners" and others paranoid, you really need to move on and get into politics. I dare say that some who boast about the democracy we have don't appreciate others who partake in it by keeping us informed.
