Even though the article is a good read I'd question the numbers..He said Fl will have to create 1million jobs and then stated it was roughly the population of three cities..I am pretty sure Miami would make those numbers by itself. That makes me question the "facts" as stated..I have been a very long (50plus yrs)resident of Florida..I lived in Dade and Broward counties..At one time I remember the largest population was seniors..South beach was Jewish seniors, south Broward was Italian American seniors..This has changed so dramatically. Now the population of both counties has changed to primarily Latins..It has come an international hub and is totally different than the rest of Florida today...

My point is that the only thing we can be sure of is it will change, and get older..That is not necessarily a bad thing..I also took exception to his assumprions that seniors were really not supporters of education..I'm a Democrat and have Many Republican friends that are dedicated to having a great educational system..That is our future as a nation and the folks in the Villages are smart enough to recognize that...
