Forty-three new teachers were just added in Sumter County School Districts. By all accounts and reviews, Sumter county has an outstanding educational system supported by Villagers without ill will or the "entitlement" mentality you keep implying. Further, Villagers do not have kids in the system

Guess who is picking up without protest, most of that tab. Further, remarkably, the tax revenues driven by Villagers reduces the millage rate significantly. That gives substantial tax relief to Sumter residents. A lot more than your sixty-one cents ($.61). Ooops, I forgot, it doesn't affect you...you live in Marion.
While I respect your opinion, the facts do not support your argument.
Have a great day. Thanks for the cerebral exercise. |
Nope......
Revenue 2011 from local sources-$35.8 million
2012- $31.4 million
Still none of this is my point!!!!!
You are using tax dollars for music on the square!!!!
Apparently, I see this much differently tan everyone else. So go ahead, use tax money to have a good time. It's not my money....
Now as far as entitlement, do some of you even read the post on here. Golf cart drivers that disobey the laws, car drivers that disobey the laws, golfers that believe the rules don't apply to them, bikers that own the road, people with dog poop issues, ect.......
Geesh......everybody must always be "the other guy"
But hey, what do I know, I just live here......
