As a marketing tool the Developer (entity) made a big deal about the free entertainment in town squares year after year after year. So it is no surprise that a number of residents feel betrayed because the practice did infer that this was going to be a part of the lifestyle.
A number of residents seem compelled no obsessed defending the Entity but they fail to recognize that those residents who raise legitimate concerns do so because they do not have representation here.
The Entity has so much power and control in Sumter County and all business is done behind closed doors. The way around the Sunshine Laws in Florida is to have "the meeting"and then a meeting for the record. Sumter One tied up the Commissioners for this entity. The Entity has strategically placed its syncophants in key roles in The Villlages on the Boards of Water District, etc.
The entity finances The Villages HomeOwner Association. The POA has good intentions but it has very limited credibility.
