The florida CDD statute was written by devlopers, for developers. To say Morse et al are profitable without government assistance is absurd. Without the Florida CDD statute, Morse could not have made his fortune. So all the CDD's in Florida rely on the statute they wrote, to rake in their profits.
Here's an old article lending some insight into the issue.

If you think Morse has nothing to hide, when they recently settled the lawsuit against them for close to $50 million, they insisted on a confidentially agreement which prevented the plaintiffs from discussing just what they discovered that led to the settlement.
The old adage "ignorance is bliss" certainly rings true for a lot of Villagers.
