The OP welcomed impact fees. The OP might consider that Sumter County village residents are charged a bond in addition to the land and domicle unit.
Perhaps I was misled but it is my understanding that Lake county village residents did not pay a bond.

We don't need more taxes. We need better money management by our public servants. They are quite wasteful and use our taxes to futher their re-elections. It is all getting maddening. Seniors would not be dealing with the hemming and hawing about social security and medicare if our public servants kept their hands off of the fund. Public sevrants for the most part perform like teenagers on spending steriods with a newly acquired credit card and they know how to recklessly spend our money.

I don't blame Mickelson in the least for his comments. the recent tax changes by the fed and the state of CA bring him to 60% tax rate and that is just plain obscene
I think the Sumter County Commissioners do a good job keeping our taxes low and providing services.
Impact fees should not be used for building a performing arts center.
You don't belive that Mickelson pays 60% in taxes.........really!
