At one time the CDD was told they had to pay a fine and never sell tax free bonds again and they turned down the settlement.
I do not think it unreasonable to think the bond holders well have to pay the taxes on the bonds.
I do think it unreasonable to think the bond holders well POed and file a class action law suit against the CDD. The CDD has some amount of money in reserve and a limit on how much amenity fees can increase. I feel the fee limit is my firewall.
Maybe the CDD could redeem and reissue bonds paying a higher interest rate seeing they are not tax free.

The CDD is the arm of the developer - the developer is the one that ultimately bears responsibility. I've seen many posts where he is lauded by the residents. It will be interesting to see if he steps up to the plate and does what is right.
