Its governing board isn't chosen by residents, it has no authority to exercise police power and its power to take private property for public projects is very limited.
The IRS contends that the districts' governing boards are controlled by The Villages developer, Gary Morse, and their bond sales have benefited him, not residents.

Can someone help explain what losses the residents may incur?
