Why did the POA Village Voice, Daily sun neglect to explain these settlements? That was the basis for the special meeting. Had Ritchie not reported this residents would have never known about those settlements. However after the fact they would deny this

When the IRS filed its petitions in January 2009 again it was Lauren Ritchie who reported the details of Proposed Notice of Issues. Again forcing the POA, Village Voice and Daily Sun to make mention which was all that they did by the way.

So say what you will or will what you say but it appears Lauren Ritchie is doing a better job of watch dog for the residents of The villages then the POA, Village voice or Daily Sun

I could cite other issues of concern to residents that she advanced way ahead of watch dog but to what point.

Bottome line I don't care what Lauren Ritchie's motives every report in her columns have been accurate as to the facts. so I view her as a blessing for residents and one reason why I subscribe to the Orlando Sentinel

Thank You
