As far as the IRS incident, the recent IRS findings were very good for us. Their auditors found our community assets are worth way more than the CDD's paid for them and have been a good deal for all involved (CDD, developer, and residents).

Just putting in my two cents.
Your last paragraph relies on a misleading headline and article that appeared in the Developer's Daily Sun. See the latest POA Bulletin on the subject (refer to page 2 for the facts): http://www.poa4us.org/bulletins_file...etin201304.pdf. Hopefully, the Daily Sun's version of events will eventually be true, but it is not yet.
