Default Was it amenties fees that paid the attorney fees?

Where did the money come from to pay attorneys $209,000 so far if it was not from the amenities fees?.. and they have not even started court proceedings.

This is why I say this needs to be resolved. Having it pending unnecessarily hurts the villagers and has the potential to hurt The Villages growth. The longer it goes, the more expensive it gets, win or lose. Who benefits by it not being resolved?

And I thought the IRS offered to settle for a lot less, something like 3 million with a promise to not issue any more tax free bonds... am I right?
If so, who rejected that offer? Did the villagers get to vote on that decision?
This settlement voting issue is also very complicated and goes to the structure of TV, which is at the heart of the IRS claims.
