Some are ALWAYS putting down the developer and being negative about every thing about the Morse family. Almost always NO one knows who they are and they NEVER show up at Crispers.You wonder WHY they are so against the developer. WHY??? And why they choose to be anonymous...


Bill has NEVER posted anything controversial or unfair in all of his posts.

If only I could be like him.

He is a poster who most people always trust. And they should.

Bill and Sandy have handed out popcorn many times at our Crispers get togethers. You will love them.

Read the link Bill has posted.
Love ya Gracie, but I can see Dee's point too. First, "the developer" is not a person or even a family, but an entity. The entity is made up of many, many people who make decisions that affect the development and those who live in it, not just Gary Morse, or the Morse family. They have teams of lawyers who advise them on things such as bond interest and CDDs, and though the final decision will rest with the board and the principals, they take many people's opinions into account, some of which may ultimately, be proven wrong. Like any big business entity, their mission is first to make money and maximize profit. That does not mean that they are insensitive to their customers and their concerns, but making money is the primary goal and pleasing customers generally furthers that goal. All big businesses need to be regulated to a certain extent, to assure they don't abuse their power and take advantage of people, the environment, or the system. The IRS is generally, looking out for the good of all taxpayers and attempting to keep anyone or any entity from cheating the system, and thus the rest of Americans. Unlike some people, I don't see the IRS as a boogeyman or the Gestapo, but simply the organization that collects taxes and enforces the tax code on behalf of all Americans.

I give the Morse organization all the credit in the world for producing a magnificent retirement community at a fair price. I don't resent their wealth, and believe that it has been accumulated mostly through honest work, great vision, and by providing value. Having said that I don't believe they are above reproach and when they do wrong they should be held accountable, here as well as by the law. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
