More importantly, the VHA does not represent "all homeowners in the Villages." It is an organization whose inception was sponsored by the Developer and which continues to be subsidized by the Developer in an obvious effort to weaken the POA. I view with some skepticism the Daily Sun's story about the VHA's going to the Developer with the solution to the wall controversy. In reality, it seems that the Developer, after surrepticiously erecting the wall in the middle of the night, backed down in the face of public outrage.
Janet Tutt, by the virtue of her position, does technically represent all homeowners in The Villages. However, given the structure of government here, it is unlikely that she is ever going to do anything except follow the Developer's lead in any controversies between the homeowners and the Developer.

Advogado, finally you have posted a comment that is absolutely on the mark. So many have created postings containing misinformation. The crazy thing about Janet tutt is that she is technically paid by the Villages residents and is indirectly a employee of the Residents. BUT, she is not hired or directed by the residents. She actually is appointed by the VCCDD board, a board composed of members elected by the only real landowner in the VCCDD (Spanish Springs Downtown Area) that being Gary Morse. Only a fool would accept the premise that Tutt would ever oppose the wishes of the Developer Morse. We saw this follow the Developer wishes for years with the person Ms Tutt replaced. When Wahl held that position, we purchased property for many times it's cost to build. We even paid for a liner in a retention pond which happened to be on the private property of Nancy Lopez golf course. Thanks to some resident watchdogs, this was corrected with a refund, but it even happening, causes one to wonder..... Again thanks for your accurate and informative posting.
