But, with all appropriate deference ....you are our skeptic.
The IRS question in issue, at best, is dynamic and fluid to the extent that the rules and laws that apply have not been completely defined by statute or relevant court ruling. There is little or no specific case law as development districts by whatever name are evolving, modern experiments in governance. Many communities in Florida and other states are waiting patiently, not fretting, for rules, precedents and guidelines to emerge from the current efforts of legislative and judicial processes. Ergo...There is no definitive explanation to satisfy your angst, there are no canned answers that contain the elusive smoking gun you seek and Leisureville is a book.....not empirical research.
To those of you on the fence, be of good cheer and make the move. If we had waited six years ago for the perfect scenario.....we would have missed out on six years of enjoying new friends, great new neighbors, a fabulous lifestyle and what have become the best years of our lives.
In the words of Theodore Roosevelt.... “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better."
Disclosure...I do not work for the Villages....in fact, I don't work at all. I never met anyone from the Morse family. 
Have a great day in the Villages. |
Cabo35. Please don't hold back. You may not work for TV but in one manner or another you are involved in this dispute and hence have read the IRS filings.
Given that you "had on the ready" a quote I made long ago leads me to conclude I am one of your targets. Hmmmmmmm
You utilize Alinsky tactics against me in order to diminish my position and hence me. skeptic, et al
You suggest that I should take at face value what is printed in the Daily Sun, Village Voice and POA.
Your claim that the dispute between the IRS and TV is dynamic is somewhat true but the IRS has clear rules that apply for a tax free bond status. Indeed they are in dispute and obviously I want TV to win but you have no right to name calling because I express a concern, a concern not created by me. You therefore may want to direct your anger at those whocreated this dilemma.
Finally you make want to mark this my comments for future attacks against me.
