Blechman is a liberal who holds to a collectivist ideology. And the thought that individuals should live their own lives free of government influence -- or control -- is anathema to someone with that worldview.
I agree that the IRS audit of the bond issue and the interrelated CDD control by the Morse family is the most serious issue affecting the overall future of TV. (BTW the IRS audit started before Obama took office.)

This "Legal Loophle" you referenced is viewed by Blechmann and the government as all bad and discriminatory. However one could argue that this "legal loophole has transformed the poorest county (Sumter) in Florida into a flourishing metropolis. Locals and their children have opportunities they never dreamed would be available. They have good paying jobs, their kids go to good schools and have the opportunity to go to college. Taxes the life blood of any community build or repair the infrastructure.
The residents of The Villages give back more to this community than they take. Residents help fill food pantries work at churches or other charitale organization to feed the less fortunate insurrounding areas, etc. etc. etc.
Do you suppose this so called "discrimination" created by this "legal loophole" has been more or less beneficial to people living in sumter County and for that matter marion and Lake counties?
