[quote=Peachie;690167][QUOTE=mickey100 I'm looking forward to the article in the Orlando Sentinel Wednesday which will cover possible consequences of the IRS ruling.

Of course, you are Mickey, I would be surprised if you weren't. (Bigger sigh here.)


djl8412, "If you feel that by someone taking over running this place after being elected by residents instead of being hand-picked then many of us will be glad to help you pack."


djl8412, wear comfortable shoes to help people pack because there will be a bigger exodus than you think if The Villages is run by "elected residents". Talk to people and see what they think of your idea of elected residents to change what we now have in The Villages.

PennBF:

It is absolutely astonishing that anyone would wish for and want to be governed by a "non elected" person over representation by persons elected by the people. It is impossible to discuss this since it is so foreign to what we all stood for and fought for. It is totally possible that we as resident will be assessed in the thousands of dollars because of a failure to apply the proper accounting system taxable controls. Enough said.


PennBF, this is exactly what people have stood and fought for... the RIGHT to live in a community of this caliber with this type of representation that we desire. I understand that some people would not want this type of representation and there are so many communities from which they may choose, they would not be happy living here. Good luck to them.

Nitehawk, IMHO, Lauren Ritchie doesn't strike me as the kind of person who would laugh.[/quote]

WOW!!! So much to digest but all missing the most important point: Let the residents determine their fate instead of a hand-picked few behind closed doors. Yes, there would be outcomes that many would not like which we always endure through life. I don't recall EVER standing and fighting for the right to live in a community of this caliber but we did move here of our own free will and our own free will also includes the right to choose how we are governed instead of NO CHOICE. I have plenty of comfortable shoes and most important of all............I can choose which pair I wear. not someone else.
